Cleveland Cavaliers Form

Cleveland go into tonight's game with the opportunity to wrap up the series thanks to Saturday's blowout win in Miami.

The Cavaliers won the final two regular season meetings with the Heat, and continued that trend as they made the most of home advantage.

They opened this playoff series with a 121-00 demolition of Miami, and then backed that up with a 121-112 success in Game 2.

Cleveland then opened up a three-game lead in their first road game of the series, romping to a 124-87 victory to put themselves on the brink of a series sweep.

Cleveland claimed their place in the playoffs by compiling a 64-18 regular-season record to finish atop the Eastern Conference.

Miami Heat Form

Miami enter this matchup knowing that one more defeat will bring an end to their postseason campaign.

The Heat came into this series on the back of a couple of Play-In wins, but they have faced a serious step up in quality of opposition and that has shown in the results.

They began the playoffs with a 121-100 defeat in Cleveland, and that was followed by a 121-112 loss as they returned home down two games in the series.

That became three games on Saturday, as they lost their opening home game of the series, 124-87.

Miami earned their place in the playoffs by going 37-45 in the regular season, before successfully negotiating the Play-In Tournament with wins over Chicago, 109-90, and Atlanta, 123-114 in overtime.

Verdict

Cleveland took a massive step towards the next round with that Game 3 blowout of the Heat in Miami.

We are backing the Cavaliers to now complete the job by continuing their recent dominance of their hosts.
