Prediction

The Heat have won 3 of their last 4 games and are 12-4 in the last 16 games vs Cleveland but Jimmy Butler is questionable for this game. The Cavaliers have been up and down lately as they have been dealing with injuries but they played great with the full team against the Clippers so I expect them to beat the Heat without a problem. Take the Cavs.
