"Roughly 48 hours after one of the most thrilling endings of the season, the Heat will square off with the Cavaliers once again on Wednesday inside Kaseya Center, the second of a home-home back-to-back. However, the latter is choosing to rest plenty of stars, including Mitchell and reigning Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley. Cleveland will also be without Darius Garland, Max Strus, Jaylon Tyson and Larry Nance Jr."
"Thus, the Cavaliers' rotation will consist of a lot of Jarrett Allen, Craig Porter Jr., Sam Merrill - who nailed four 4Q triples on Monday - Lonzo Ball and Dean Wade, among others. It's worth noting that Cleveland is just 3-6 in games without Garland and Mitchell since the start of the 2023-24 season, including 0-1 this year. The Heat will be without Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo once again."
Andrew Wiggins hit a game-winning lob as time expired in overtime after Donovan Mitchell tied the game with a contested 3-pointer with 0.4 seconds left. The teams meet again 48 hours later at Kaseya Center in the second leg of a home-home back-to-back. Cleveland elected to rest multiple starters, listing Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, Max Strus, Jalen Tyson, and Larry Nance Jr. as unavailable or questionable. Cleveland's rotation for the game will feature Jarrett Allen, Craig Porter Jr., Sam Merrill, Lonzo Ball, and Dean Wade. Cleveland is 3-6 in games without Garland and Mitchell since 2023-24, including 0-1 this season. Miami remains without Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo and is 7-4 and 5-0 at home.
