Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Prediction

The Celtics have now won 8 of the last 10 games against the Heat, and 5 of those wins were decided by 10 or more points. With the Heat still down Butler and Rozier, Miami is extremely limited roster wise, mainly on the offensive side, and it’s the reason these lines are so big. The Heat are simply outgunned without their best player and their best creator / three level scorer. With that said, the Heat seems to play their best ball when you expect them not to, and they usually bounce back from losses in the playoffs under Erik Spoelstra. The return of Wright is another defensive body, so the Heat can get out of that zone that’s been killing them this series. Must win game if the Heat are going to save their season. Give me the home dog.
