Miami Heat Form
Miami went 37-45 in the regular season and successfully navigated the Play-In Tournament to make it to the playoffs.
The Heat cost themselves home court advantage in the first round of the Play-In as they lost four times in their final six regular season games.
That rough run began with a 110-108 defeat at home to Memphis, and they then sandwiched a 117-105 win over Philadelphia with a 121-115 overtime loss to Milwaukee and a 119-111 defeat in Chicago.
Miami rebounded from the loss to the Bulls with a 153-104 blowout of New Orleans, only to close out the regular season with a 119-118 loss to Washington.
The Heat bounced back in the Play-In though, heading out on the road to beat Chicago 109-90 and Atlanta 123-114 in overtime to set up this meeting with the Cavaliers.
Cleveland Cavaliers Form
Cleveland booked their trip to the postseason by putting together a 64-18 regular-season record to finish atop the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers come into this series on a mixed run of form, having won eight of their final 12 games but just two of the last five.
They put together a couple of three-game win streaks to start this sequence, before cooling off following a 120-113 defeat to Sacramento.
Cleveland rebounded with a 135-113 victory over Chicago, only to then suffer a 114-112 defeat when the visited Indiana.
The Cavaliers responded with a 108-102 win in New York, but closed out the regular season with a 126-118 double overtime defeat to Indiana.
Verdict
Cleveland are the better team, but this is a lot of points for a team that has not played meaningful minutes for a while.
Miami are covering consistently, especially in the role of underdog, so give us the Heat and the free buckets.
