(NBA) Cleveland vs. Miami, 03/08/2023 7:30 PM, Score: 104 - 100
Total: 215.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Win
Cleveland needed overtime to escape with a win over Boston on Monday. Normally, beating the Celtics would be cause for celebration. But because Boston chose to rest so many players for that game, the Cavs were left feeling more relieved than anything.

Since that game went to OT, the 118-114 final score is a bit misleading. The game was tied 109-109 at the end of regulation.

Cavs’ PG Donovan Mitchell averages more than 20 points/game against every NBA team, but he hasn’t been that great against Miami in the past, averaging only 21.8 points. In two previous meetings this season, Mitchell was held to 13 and 16 points.

These are the two top scoring defenses in the NBA. Cleveland allows 106.6 points/game while Miami allows 109.1.

So I anticipate a low-scoring contest tonight. Miami got 59 points from its bench in a wild 130-128 win over Atlanta two nights ago. That’s certainly not happening again. 10*
