The Boston Celtics will travel to the Kaseya Center to face the Miami Heat in the NBA on Monday night. The Heat (25-25) are seventh in the Eastern Conference while the Celts (37-16) are second. Let’s get into the match prediction!

The Miami Heat have been a mixed bag of late, splitting their last 10 games five wins and five loses after going down 102-86 on the road to the Nets on Friday night. 

Terry Rozier was the only player to cross the 20-point mark, while as a team, Miami shot a painful 35% from the field and made 12 of 40 attempts from long range. 

The Heat are averaging 110.5 points per game this season (23rd overall), but they are a top-10 defence that allows just 110.6 PPG. 

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics will be in fine spirits coming into this match off the back of a thumping 131-104 victory over the New York Knicks on the road on Saturday night. 

Jayson Tatum delivered another MVP-worthy performance of 40 points which included seven threes, while Payton Pritchard put up 25 points off the bench. 

The C’s are ranked fifth in the league for points scored per game (117.5) and sixth for points allowed per game (108.7).
