LiontipsCleveland Cavaliers - Miami Heat: betting tip and bets on the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
The team confidently took the first place in the Eastern Conference. Of course, there were attempts by Boston to interfere in the fight for the gold medals, but it didn't work out for the Celtics.
Cleveland ended the regular season with a loss, losing in overtime to Indiana (118:126). We saw the fight on the floor until the last seconds, but it's worth considering that Kenny Atkinson's players were far from the optimal squad, if you don't take Jarrett Allen into account. The Cavs were looking forward to their playoff opponent and will play their next game against Miami. The game will be played at home, so there is a good chance to start the series with a victory.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team will come out on the parquet floor with an optimal composition.
Interesting facts for betting
The Cavs have lost just seven times at home this season.
Approximate line-up: Mobley-Struss, Allen-Garland, Mitchell.
Current form
The Jimmy Butler story will haunt the team for a long time this season, because it was his exchange that influenced the overall result. The Heat failed to gain a foothold in the top six and even teetered on the verge of relegation from the top 10 of the East.
In the opening match of the playoffs, Miami did not take their chance and deservedly lost to Chicago (90:109). Thanks to his experience, Erik Spoelstra took into account the mistakes, and in the match against Atlanta, his players showed their character. The Lights fought to the last and beat Atlanta in overtime (123:114). We must pay tribute to Tyler Girro, who scored 30 points. The Heat have advanced to the playoffs, where they will face Cleveland.
Disqualifications and injuries
Drew Smith and Isaah Stevens will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting

1.90Tip and bets
Cleveland is one of the main contenders for the championship, because it has earned this status with its game. The Cavaliers have excellent performers such as Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley, who are able to solve their tasks. The hosts are the favorites of this confrontation, and you can't argue with that.
Miami recovered after Jimmy Butler's departure, but they never found a replacement for him. It will be difficult for Heath to impose a fight on an opponent, even with the optimal composition, since at the moment there is a difference in class. We assume that the victory will go to the hosts.
Our prediction is a victory for Cleveland, taking into account the handicap (-11) points in 1.70
Bet on the total
Cleveland has not felt the taste of victory for a long time, as it was resting after the regular season. The team is eager to prove itself, so there is a high probability that the hosts will dominate their court. Miami is unlikely to accept the number two position, meaning it will have to go all-in. In our opinion, the total will be broken.
Betting Tip - total more than 212.5 points for 1.73
Betting on statistics
The head coach gave key Cleveland players the opportunity to rest before the start of the playoffs, so they will approach the match in optimal shape. The Cavaliers will go forward, as their tactics are honed for attack, and there is a high probability that the hosts will show good performance.
Prediction – Cleveland's individual total is over 114 points in 1.90
