He has committed three or more turnovers in nine consecutive games, finishing with four on Monday, all of them coming in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Cavs (4-10) have lost three straight and six of their last seven. Their last, a 126-96 pounding at the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Danny Green nearly single handedly beat Cleveland going 5-of-7 from 3-point range en route to 17 points as the Spurs pushed their winning streak to 10.<\/p>\n<p>The bench got in on the action as well, as Patty Mills scored 15, while the Spurs had 11 players score at least eight points.<\/p>\n<p>It was a long night for Andrew Bynum, who led the Cavs with 16 points.<\/p>\n<p>The loss dropped Cleveland to 1-8 on the road, but the good news was that rookie Matthew Dellavedova reached double figures for the first time in his career with 14.<\/p>\n<p>The \u00a0Spurs settled for a 65-32 gap at the break, as the Cavs went a miserable 5-for-23 in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland did however, pick up some offense in the third but did not do much to improve the defense and went into the fourth trailing 96-67 .<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs\u2019 33-point halftime advantage was the largest in any NBA game at the break this season.<\/p>\n<h3>Matt&#8217;s Prediction:<\/h3>\n<p>The Heat are on fire and the Cavs are stone cold.<\/p>\n<p>I expect Miami&#8217;s third best offense to wreck havoc on the Cleveland defense, which has allowed an average of 102 points per game this season.<\/p>\n<p><b>Miami 106, Cleveland 90<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami vs Cleveland NBA Hoops Handicapping Two teams heading in opposite directions will tip off on Wednesday, as the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers host the surging Miami Heat and the Cavs&#8217; most celebrated former star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":68084,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[2483,1794,5543,4169,23767,1451,2765,23761,23762],"class_list":["post-69587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-cavaliers","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-cavaliers","tag-heat","tag-heat-vs-cavaliers","tag-miami","tag-miami-heat","tag-miami-heat-vs-cleveland-cavaliers","tag-miami-vs-cleveland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69587"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69587\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69668,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69587\/revisions\/69668"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
