Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Team Roster
We are updating team formations and lineups for the Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers game in real-time. The starting lineups are yet to be announced.
Miami's starters are all available for Game 3. We expect the roster of Tyler Herro, Davion Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins, Bam Adebayo, and Kel'el Ware to go again. Nikola Jokic and Haywood Highsmith, who both played over 20 minutes in Game 2, will expect to see reasonable game time. Cleveland will likely go with Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Max Strus as starters in this one.

What to Expect from the Game between Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers
In the dying minutes of Game 2 in Cleveland, the Miami Heat, down 97-74, surged to one basket off the Cavs and the possibility of tying the series, before the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers responded and shut down the Heat to win 121-112. Donovan Mitchell was Cleveland's standout performer in that game, delivering a 30-point game. The Miami surge, led by Davion Mitchell's 18 points, is an indicator that the Heat have not been extinguished. The Miami Heat are battle-tested, overcoming the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks in the play-in tournament in two road games to earn a playoff berth. Still massive underdogs at home, bettors hunting for value may look their way as the Miami Heat has proven to be a resilient and tough team this postseason. If they are going to make a stand in this series, it will begin in this first home game in Miami. We expect a high-intensity game that will go to the buzzer.
