Heat vs Celtics Prediction

The Celtics aren’t profitable on the season, and they’re big favorites yet again despite a lot of key names on the injury report. You have to check for updates before betting this one because the line will change drastically depending on the results. With that said, I want nothing to do with the Heat. The Heat consistently blow double-digit leads and lose games, and it’s to the point where I think the confidence is shot.

The Celtics are 5-0 SU and ATS in the last five games against the Heat. The two games this season were decided by an average of 18.5 points. The Heat are going nowhere fast and as long as the Celtics have most of their core on the floor, this should be another blowout. Heck, considering the Heat lost to the Bulls and Hornets recently, it probably doesn’t matter either way. Celtics roll.
