Heat vs. Cavaliers Predictions & Best Bets for Game 4
The Heat appeared to figure things out in Game 2 with a late comeback surge, but they completely fell flat in Game 3, struggling to contain the Cavs inside on both ends of the floor.
Allen and Evan Mobley combined for 41 points on 16-of-22 shooting and 16 rebounds, and Cleveland outrebounded Miami 46-29.
Donovan Mitchell managed just 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting after putting up 30 points in each of the first two games. I think he’ll have a bounce-back game, but I’m betting he’ll hit just Under his 25.5 points total (-105).
I’m also rolling with Allen to continue torching Miami’s lack of size and hit the Over of his 12.5 points total (-115).
Cleveland has dominated Miami all series, so I’m predicting they’ll wrap things up in Game 4 and cover the -8.5 spread while they’re at it.
