The Miami Heat will visit the Cleveland Cavaliers in FREE NBA Live Streaming online as LeBron James visits his hometown, from Cleveland at 7:00 PM ET.

LeBron James will try to help the Heat further distance themselves from a recent rough stretch by taking advantage of the short-handed Cavaliers on Tuesday night.

Kyrie Irving, averaging 21.2 points and 6.2 assists, strained a tendon in his left arm in Sunday's 102-80 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavaliers had won the first two games on the trip.

Cleveland's difficult week features a three-game homestand against teams that are in the top four of their respective conferences: Miami (45-19), Oklahoma City and Houston. Even with Irving available, that stretch might have seriously hindered the Cavaliers' chances of cutting into a five-game deficit on Atlanta in the race for the East's final playoff berth.

The 10th-place Cavaliers will try to snap a nine-game skid to Miami. James has been on the court for all but one of those wins and is 4-1 in return trips to Cleveland since leaving for Miami before the 2010-11 season.

The Heat will try to add to that win streak in the series while earning their second straight victory following a 1-5 stretch, which contributed to their 3 1/2-game deficit to Indiana for the East lead. Before leaving for a two-game trip, Miami used a late surge to pull away for a 113-104 victory against Houston on Sunday.

James has averaged 29.2 points, 8.6 assists and 8.0 rebounds in his five career games in Cleveland.
