1. Miami Bounces Back With Win

The Heat may have come up short on Thursday night against the Hornets, but they will be able to bounce back Saturday night with a strong performance against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

With Wade’s performance in the starting lineup and Whiteside off the bench, the Heat will have just enough to knock off Cleveland in South Beach tonight despite the efforts from two-thirds of the Cavaliers’ Big Three. This will be a great matchup between two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference, giving a preview of what would be an awesome playoff series if things fall that way.

This is the third and final meeting between the Heat and Cavaliers this season, with each team winning on their home court earlier in the season. That trend will continue in the last matchup tonight as the Heat will come away with the victory and take the season series 2-1.
