The Miami Heat will play their second game of a four-game road trip on Tuesday night when they go head-to-head with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The first game of Miami’s road trip did not go as planned, as the Heat suffered a 122-117 loss at the hands of the Charlotte Hornets. However, the Heat have still played good basketball as of late and had won four of five games prior to that loss.
On the other hand, Cleveland has been all over the place in the month of January. The Cavs are 8-7 overall this month and have not won two games in a row since January 4th.
Both Miami and Cleveland will look to find more consistency in this matchup, but injuries for both squads are likely to play a role. Here are the odds and prediction for the Eastern Conference matchup between the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.
