NBA playoff betting odds have the Cleveland Cavaliers at -12 to take a 2-0 lead against the Miami Heat following a dominant 121-100 win in Game 1. Can the Heat rebound in the Eastern Conference first-round series and make a game of it on Wednesday night?
Heat vs Cavaliers NBA Playoff Prediction
The NBA spread today isn’t giving the Heat much chance of winning the game outright, but it could be closer than expected. Cleveland won 121-100 in Game 1. I’m backing the Cavaliers to win outright, but it should be a close game, with the Cavs winning 108-102.

Tyler Herro Over 24.5 Points
One of my best NBA prop bets today is Tyler Herro over 23.5 points. Despite predicting a low-scoring game, Herro should be the outstanding scorer for the Heat. He scored 21 points in Game 1, but is capable of much more. I’m confident in Herro rising to the occasion and giving the Heat a chance to win.
Bet On Tyler Herro Over 24.5 Points
-
Davion Mitchell Over 11.5 Points
My NBA picks include Miami’s Davion Mitchell over 11.5 points. Mitchell scored 16 points in Game 1 after totaling 16 and 15 in the play-in games. Herro needs scoring support, and it could come via Mitchell. He should be open, and it won’t take much to exceed 11.5 points.
-
Donovan Mitchell Under 3.5 Made 3-Pointers
Donovan Mitchell put up nine 3-point attempts in Game 1, making just two. It was an off night from behind the 3-point line, and it could force him inside for Game 2. He scored 30 points, but he might look for easier buckets, so my NBA betting picks include Mitchell under 3.5 made 3s at generous odds.

Heat vs Cavaliers Moneyline Pick
I’m backing the Heat to keep it close, but ultimately, the Cavaliers should take a 2-0 lead. They are at very skinny odds to win outright, but it’s worth including in NBA parlays.
Bet on Cavaliers ML (-664) vs Heat
Heat vs Cavaliers Spread Pick
My NBA prop picks include Heat +12. It’s a big number, and that’s because they lost by 21 points in Game 1. However, bettors should expect a much tighter close. The Heat are a good defensive team, and they should make the necessary adjustments to cover the spread.
Heat vs Cavaliers Over/Under Pick
Under 211.5 points is included in my NBA picks. It will be a close-run thing, but defense could stand out. The Heat can lock in defensively better than most teams, and that could force the Cavs into making mistakes.
Bet on Heat vs Cavaliers under 212 points
