Cleveland Cavaliers vs Miami Heat. The NBA pick for this game is the Miami Heat. Kyle Lowry missed his 14th consecutive game with a sore left knee but is still hoping to play later this week. He is listed as questionable for this rematch against the Cavs. If he plays, that will have a big impact on their half-court sets. Even if he sits, I do not expect the Heat to play that sloppy. They only lost by four points even with the 24 turnovers. Look for the Heat to bounce back and get a win predicted to a score of 120-108.
