By Ben Ladner
The Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. Here is how to watch this Eastern Conference NBA game online via live streaming.
More than half the NBA’s teams will be in action Wednesday night, including the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat, who currently own the third and fourth seeds, respectively, in the Eastern Conference.
Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST on Jan. 31, 2018 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. The Cavs’ broadcast will air on Fox Sports Ohio, while Fox Sports Sun will carry the visiting Heat feed. The game can also be streamed online via NBA League Pass on FuboTV.
The Heat enter the game with the NBA’s 25-ranked defense, but counterbalance their offensive struggles with the sixth-best defense in the league and despite having a negative point differential, boast a 29-21 record. Cleveland, meanwhile, ranks in fifth in offense and a paltry 29th in defense, with a 29-20 record to date.

Despite not having an All Star, Miami has come into its own in recent weeks, winning 10 of its last 14 games. Goran Dragic has lead the charge, averaging nearly 17 points and five assists per game, but the Heat operate largely by committee. Eight players score at least 10 points per game and seven average more than two assists. On the other end of the floor, the Heat have harassed their way to the sixth-best defense in the NBA.
Cleveland has fallen upon relative hard times, losing 10 of its last 15 games, and for a team with championship aspirations, the Cavaliers have a great deal of figuring out to do if they’re to salvage their season. Despite an explosive offense, Cleveland’s defense has been concerning, due in equal parts to a lack of effort and underwhelming defensive personnel. Though still the likely favorite in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers’ stranglehold on the conference may be slipping.
