Cleveland Cavaliers team news & key performers

As of now, the Cavaliers are reporting no injuries and are expected to stick with the same starting lineup unless any last-minute changes arise. Ty Jerome provided a boost off the bench in the series opener, once again proving his value as Cleveland’s go-to option in the second unit.

Despite the team's Game 1 success, Evan Mobley, a Defensive Player of the Year finalist, was quieter than usual and will be eager to deliver a stronger performance in Wednesday’s contest.

Miami Heat team news & key performers

On the other side, Miami continues to deal with a few injury concerns. Guard Dru Smith remains sidelined after undergoing surgery for a torn Achilles tendon in December and won’t feature again this season. Isaiah Stevens, on a two-way deal, is ineligible for postseason play, while veteran forward Kevin Love will also miss this one due to personal reasons.

There is, however, a sliver of hope for the Heat with Terry Rozier progressing in his recovery from an ankle injury. His status remains day-to-day and could go down to the wire before tipoff.

After Sunday’s one-sided affair, Miami will be hoping for a response, while Cleveland looks to keep their foot on the gas and continue their strong start to the postseason.
