Easter Miracle or Another Bloody Sunday? NBA Playoffs Betting Insights
Cleveland was 2-1 straight up, but 1-2 against the spread (ATS) vs. Miami this season. The Heat covered as +13.5 road underdogs without Herro in a 112-107 loss to the Cavs, at full strength, in their final regular-season meeting March 5. That matters because Miami has been playing well down the stretch after dealing with the Jimmy Butler situation earlier this year.Â
The Heat were fifth in net rating (+9.4) in the last 15 games of the regular season, and the Cavaliers were 14th (+2.7). Granted, Cleveland had home court in the playoffs locked up a while ago. But, that doesn’t change how well Miami is playing. Plus, the Cavs haven’t played an important game in months, while the Heat won two “must-win” play-in games to make the postseason.Â
