Game Preview

Miami Heat struggle to stay in the postseason talks. Right now, they are 9th in the East, having slim chances to get outside the NBA play-in zone. However, their recent form has been impressive, as Erik Spoelstra’s unit has won 5 NBA games in a row.

All five triumphs have been by a double-digit margin. The most recent took place in Washington, where they trashed the Wizards 120-94. Bam Adebayo had 28 points and 12 boards, while Tyler Herro scored 27, though he missed all six of his three-point attempts.

On the other hand, the Celtics have 9 victories in a row. They came back from the tour through the West, beating teams like the Blazers, Kings, Suns, Spurs, and the Grizzlies in their latest appearance, 117-103.

The Celtics have the most three-point attempts in the NBA, 49, and they made the most threes in the league, 18.1 per game. However, that’s normal when you have sharpshooters like Pritchard, Kornet, Tatum, Brown or White.

  • Heat is 7-0 AGAINST THE SPREAD in last 7 games.
  • TOTAL went UNDER in 5 of the previous 6 games Miami played on the road.
  • Boston Celtics are 9-0 STRAIGHT UP in the past 9 games.
  • Celtics won 6 of the previous 7 contests at the TD Garden.

Heat vs. Celtics Head to Head

Boston dominates Miami, winning 9 of the last 10 direct encounters. They lead 3-0 this season: 108-89 in Boston; 103-85 and 103-91 in Miami.

Heat vs. Celtics Predictions

Miami has been great and is on a roll, but in our opinion, they won’t win in Boston. The Celtics are just too good to lose at home, no matter the rivals.
