Miami Heat (40-34) at Cleveland Cavaliers (45-30)

The Miami Heat can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight at Cleveland against the Cavaliers. Miami will be playing without Dwayne Wade but they could get their star back soon. "The fact that he's back practicing is huge," Heat coach Pat Riley said. "You go back to Feb. 23, it didn't look like there was going to be any of that stuff. So this is great." Miami has done great without Wade, going 14-7 to get right into the race for the Southeast Division title. SBG Global reports that early betting has the public riding heavy on the Heat tonight, plus the points.

Cleveland has also done well without their star in the lineup. The team had gone 3-0 when LeBron James was out, but that trend ended on Sunday as the Cavaliers lost 98-96 to Boston. James was back on Tuesday scoring 31 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a 101-88 victory over Minnesota. "It's still not 100 percent," James said. "I'd say it's about 80-85 percent now. I still felt it a couple times. ... Just have to keep doing treatment and keep getting healthy, but I felt pretty good."
