Tonight is the final meeting of four games between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat. In the three games this season, each team has won at their home. Kyrie Irving, who came down with an illness last night, is playing tonight after missing Thursday morning’s shootaround. Irving’s presence and scoring will be big tonight as Kevin Love, who suffered a reaggravation of his lower back injury after getting elbowed Sunday against the Sixers, will miss tonight’s game per Ethan Skolnick of Bleacher Report and Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio.
