Reasoning
Read it all ›Miami are the home favourites, but I make this closer than the market does. Miami are conceding 120 points a game, fifth-most in the league, and Cleveland arrive off a win over New York with the scoring to punish that kind of defence. Taking more than a possession with a side I rate near even is where the value sits.

Taking more than a possession with a side I rate near even is where the value sits.
The honest risk is Evan Mobley's absence: without him Cleveland lose rim protection and rebounding, and Miami can do damage inside. If it becomes a shootout the home side may pull away late. Miami's defensive numbers, though, say Cleveland score enough to stay close. The bet: Cleveland Cavaliers +3.5.
