The Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on Saturday night.

The Cavaliers (15-40) have endured a season as difficult as their record implies, but they turned the page with a new head coach in the first game following the All-Star break. Cleveland made J.B. Bickerstaff a winner in his debut Friday night, as it notched a 113-108 victory against the Washington Wizards. Collin Sexton paced the Cavaliers with 25 points, adding two rebounds and two assists. Cedi Osman generated a 16-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included two assists and one steal. Darius Garland provided 15 points, four assists and two rebounds. Larry Nance, Jr. furnished 13 points, six boards and two assists. Andre Drummond generated a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double that also included two assists, two steals and two blocks. Tristan Thompson and Dante Exum poured in 10 points apiece, with Thompson also pulling down 11 boards.

The Cavaliers will likely remain without Alfonzo McKinnie (foot) for Saturday's game. Ante Zizic (illness) figures to be questionable at best.

The Heat (35-20) have some of the more disparate home-road splits in the NBA this season, with Miami an exponentially better team at home. That much was corroborated during the team's just-concluded road trip that was sandwiched around the All-Star break, one in which they dropped five of six games. Their most recent stumble came Thursday night, when they fell to the Atlanta Hawks by a 129-124 score. Bam Adebayo paced the Heat with a 28-point, 19-rebound double-double that also included seven assists, three steals and one block. Goran Dragic provided 19 points, three rebounds and three assists. Jimmy Butler delivered 17 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals and one block. Jae Crowder and Kendrick Nunn supplied matching 14-point tallies, with Crowder also pulling down four rebounds and recording two blocks. Duncan Robinson registered 10 points.

The Heat will remain without Meyers Leonard (ankle) for Saturday's game.

Saturday's contest marks the third of four meetings between the teams this season. The Heat holds a 2-0 series lead, having posted 108-97 and 124-100 victories Nov. 14 and Nov. 20, respectively.
