Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have been excellent this season and are in good nick, having won five of their last six, while the Heat are in a bit of a rut, currently on a four-game slide. The hosts are also missing a few key players and looked very poor last time out against a struggling Grizzlies side. It wouldn’t be surprising if Miami bounced back to form here, but based on recent performances, we have to go with the Celtic for the W. Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics prediction: Boston Celtics to win the match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
