PREVIEW: The Cleveland Cavaliers (7-3) arrive in Miami on Monday night as 7.5-point road favorites against the Heat (6-4) , bringing a squad that has mastered the art of efficient scoring. Cleveland ranks first in high-frequency three-point shooting at 50% of their attempts and second in forcing turnovers , establishing a defensive intensity that complements their offensive firepower. With star point guard Darius Garland back healthy, the Cavs have regained extra bite on defense along with crucial playmaking and scoring. The visitors have managed to exceed 100 points in every contest this season , showcasing consistency that makes them one of the league's most dangerous teams. Miami, meanwhile, presents a unique challenge with their own high-octane system despite significant injury concerns. The Heat rank first in pace and second in post-up shot frequency, while their defense allows the sixth-lowest quality of three-pointers. Without both Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, the Heat face their toughest matchup yet against a fully healthy Cavaliers squad. Still, Miami remains undefeated at home, and coach Erik Spoelstra's adaptive schemes suggest the hosts will have answers ready.
