Cleveland, Ohio — The Cavs are back in Cleveland for just one home game Wednesday against the Miami Heat before hitting the road again.
After a three-game road trip in which the Cavs won two of three contests, they look to continue their success even while missing valuable players.
Donovan Mitchell (nose)Evan Mobley (ankle), Max Strus (knee) and Dean Wade (knee) all remain out against the Heat for the Cavs.
The Heat are the second opponent in as many games, fighting to avoid the play-in tournament and facing the Cavs, who are the third seed in the Eastern Conference.
Miami is currently eighth in the East after losing to the 76ers on Monday. The Heat are also struggling with injuries and have won just two of their last seven games, both victories against the Pistons.
The Cavs hope to capitalize against a reeling conference opponent.
