Cavaliers Visit Miami Heat as 6.5-Point Underdogs in Key Eastern Conference Matchup
The Cleveland Cavaliers face the Miami Heat in a crucial matchup. Miami holds a historical advantage, winning six straight meetings and leading the all-time series by 22 wins. However, the Cavs have found success as underdogs this season, winning 9 of 11 games when not favored.
