In Game 1, Garland recorded five assists, below his average of nearly seven assists for the season, but projections for Game 2 suggest he may achieve approximately 6.8 assists.

The Heat need to improve their three-point shooting, with Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, who shot 66.7% in Game 1, as key contributors, making Robinson's prop bet at +140 a valuable option given his 39.3% shooting from beyond the arc this season.

Bam Adebayo scored 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds in Game 1, but his shooting performance and -13 plus-minus highlight the challenges he faces against strong rebounders Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley.

In Game 1, Cleveland's backcourt combined for 85 points on 51 shots, while the frontcourt scored 30 points on 23 shots.

Mitchell played 34 minutes in Game 1, scoring 18 points with nine assists and four rebounds, and is projected to exceed three rebounds, having achieved this in seven of his last 10 games.

Erik Spoelstra is expected to reduce the ball-handling duties of Tyler Herro and utilize him off screens for catch-and-shoot opportunities, as he has made 11 of 23 three-pointers in the playoffs and has a projected total of 3.25 triples for the upcoming game against the Cavaliers.
