4. Wade and LeBron Put On A Show

When friends play against each other in a sport, there is always seems to be that little extra adrenaline as you want to get the best of your friend. Tonight we will see two good friends, and former teammates, in LeBron James and Dwyane Wade go at it. While they may not defend each other very often, they will be the matchup to watch and will not disappoint.

The Cavaliers go as James goes. It is evident they are a different team when he is not on the court. He will assuredly play against the Heat, as he has already received his rest day in this three games in four-night stretch. He will do whatever it takes for the Cavaliers to come away from South Beach a victory, and will not come up short.

Expect James to put on a show against his old team, scoring at least 30 points and double digit rebounds or assists. He will fall just short of a triple-double, but provide a ton of production tonight.

Not to be outdone, Wade will also have a strong showing for the Heat. He has not had strong showings recently, but has flashed this season that he can turn it on when needed. Against the Cavaliers that will be needed, and expect Wade to come through. Wade will also score at least 30 points, leading the Heat in scoring while also stuffing the stat sheet. In addition to the 30 points, Wade will add at least five rebounds and assists to match the production that James provides.
