LeBron James returning to face the Cleveland Cavaliers doesn't have as much luster as it once did but that won't stop the King from putting on another show for the hometown fans who have remained loyal. After all, there's still an outside chance that King James will test free agency in 2014 and Cleveland fans want to show there's no ill blood towards their former hero even if there still is.

Miami has bigger fish to fry and could use a victory in their attempt to capture the 1 seed in the East from Indiana. With 20 games to go the Heat trail by 4 in the win column and haven't helped their cause lately by losing 5 out of 6 games. The losses include back to back home losses to Brooklyn and Denver where Miami was 9 and 11 point favorites respectively.

The Cavs have faint playoff hopes alive, trailing the 8th spot by 3.5 games with 16 left to play. Cleveland didn't necessarily start off March playing with a sense of urgency by losing the first 4 games but redeemed themselves with back to back impressive road victories over Phoenix and Golden State.

Miami was victorious in the previous 2 meetings against Cleveland this season, a 95-84 victory in Cleveland on November 27th and a 114-107 home win on December 14th. In the last matchup Cleveland was able to cover as 12.5 underdogs even though they notched the outright loss. A balanced attack where 6 Cleveland players scored in double figures and 25, 24, and 22 points from James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh enabled the 199.5 total to soar well over.
