Heat vs Celtics Prediction

The Celtics are far and away the more trustowhy team and they’ve owned the Heat the last two seasons. The Celtics are 9-1 ATS and 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings against Miami. However, the Heat are still fighting for seeding position; they’ve played their best ball at home and what we’ve learned about them in recent weeks is to take them when you think they’re dead. The Heat is downright weird. Right when it looks like they’ve figured things out, they go on a losing streak. You think theyre dead and they beat the Cavs on the road or the 76ers at the end of a back-to-back. I’ll close my eyes and grab the points.
