Cleveland Cavaliers: Cleveland Cavaliers vs Miami Heat predicted starting lineups and depth charts for Game 4 (April 28)

The Miami Heat will host the Cleveland Cavaliers for Game 4 of their first-round series at the Kaseya Center on Monday. While Donovan Mitchell and co. aim to become the second team in the 2025 playoffs to pull off a 4-0 sweep, the hosts will put in their best efforts to prolong the series as much as possible.

The top-seeded Cavaliers have expectedly displayed their dominance all series long, clinching comfortable wins in each of the three games. However, Game 2 was the most competitive among all.

Tyler Herro erupted for a game-high 33-point outing, shooting 58.3% from the field. Bam Adebayo also contributed with an 11-point, 14-rebound, and 9-assist near triple-double. Despite the one-two punch putting up impressive performances, the Heat were still unable to orchestrate the upset.

The All-Star trio of Mitchell, Darius Garland, and Evan Mobley scored a collective 71 points. They also carried a majority of the team’s offensive load, responsible for 23 out of the team’s 39 made field goals, leading the Cavs to a 121-112 victory.
