NBA's official injury report
The Cavs come into the evening as the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 42-26 record in 68 games.
They are 6-4 in their last ten games and in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
That said, the Cavs are just 14-19 in the 33 games they have played on the road away from Ohio.
As for the Heat, they are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference with a 35-32 record in 67 games.
They are 3-7 in their last ten games but a very solid 21-13 in 34 games hosted at home in Miami, Florida.
The Cavs have not been to the NBA Playoffs since the 2018 season when they still had LeBron James, but they appear very likely to end the drought in 2023.
On the other hand, the Heat have been to the Eastern Conference Finals in two out of the last three seasons (they made the NBA Finals in 2020).
Last season, they lost in Game 7 of the Conference Finals to the Boston Celtics.
