It’s Wednesday, January 29, and the Cleveland Cavaliers (37-9) and the Miami Heat (23-22) are all set to square off from Kaseya Center in Miami.
The story in Miami is Jimmy Butler. Where will he land? How will his trade affect the race in the Southeast Division? The Heat outlasted the Orlando Magic without the suspended Butler Monday night. Tyler Herro scored 30 in Miami’s 125-119 win in double overtime. The Cavs are a mere 5-4 in their last 9 games, but they did take out the Pistons Monday, 110-91.
The Cavaliers are currently 15-6 on the road with a point differential of +10, while the Heat have a 5-5 record in their last ten games at home.
