The Boston Celtics will be aiming to regain their momentum and return to the winning column as they play host to the Miami Heat at TD Garden in an Eastern Conference NBA clash. The Celtics are 16-4 overall and 7-2 at home, leaving them in second place, while the Heat are 9-9 overall and 5-5 on the road, leaving them in sixth place. Here's our match prediction. 

With an incredible 35 points scored and 14 rebounds, Jayson Tatum became the savior Boston Celtics needed to eradicate the Chicago Bulls in a high-octane 138-129 NBA Cup victory on Friday. 

Carrying forward the energy of this triumph became an arduous task. On a Sunday, the Celtics were outplayed in a 115-111 defeat against their primary playoff rival, the Cleveland Cavaliers.  

This result ended an impressive seven-game winning streak while thwarting their chances of reclaiming first place in the Eastern Conference. 

After shaking off a brutal three-point shooting and a leaky defense, the Miami Heat was able to secure a 121-111 victory over the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Cup on Saturday. The standout player was Jimmy Butler, who scored 26 points.

However, they couldn't replicate the same performance in NBA action on Monday as they succumbed to a narrow 119-116 defeat against the aforementioned team. This result marked two losses from their last six games (W4).
