Cavaliers still trying to win the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and they are locked into a battle with the Boston Celtics, both with identical records. Cleveland, though, owns the tiebreaker over Boston.
The Heat could be eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night ... or they could receive new hope.
When you factor in the tiebreakers, the Heat (39-41) essentially trail the Chicago Bulls (39-41) and the Indiana Pacers (40-40) by one game each in the chase for a playoff berth.
If the Heat win both their remaining games, they would get in if either the Bulls or Pacers split the two contests each of those teams has left on its schedule.
Do James and Irving (still has sore knee) rest again ? ..it is possible that they will both sit because James played 47 minutes and had a triple-double -- 32 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists -- in a 126-125 overtime loss at the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday afternoon. Irving scored 45 points in 45 minutes and added nine assists.
CLE comes off a B2B here and lost in OT after blowing a 26 pt lead to ATL. CLE gone just 3-6 over their last 9 games away from home (SU/ATS).
MIA has beaten the Cavs five-straight times at the American Airlines Arena (SU/ATS) ever since James returned to his hometown and all five of those wins were by double-digits and by a stunning average of 17.6 points
MIA +1.5
