Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Stephen Abiola | in NBA Picks
After beating the Bulls at Kaseya Center on Friday, the Heat now has an intriguing date with the Celtics in the NBA playoffs. Game 1 of this best-of-seven series will see Miami Heat travel to TD Garden to face the No. 1 seed in the East. During their win against the Bulls, Miami Heat’s offense somewhat struggled, although their defense turned up to salvage their season. Unfortunately, their team leader, Jimmy Butler, succumbed to a knee injury that would keep him out for weeks. Boston was the epitome of the juggernaut of grit during the regular season, so it will take the Heat something special to get past them in the postseason tournament. Their 64-18 record is the best in the NBA, and they are first and third in offensive and defensive efficiency, respectively. They’ll seek to avenge the painful 4-3 loss against Miami in last season’s Conference finals.

Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Miami’s defense can be excellent when they turn up. However, this might not be enough against the 13-point favorites, looking for their first championship title since 2008. Boston is a highly talented side led by Jaylen Brown and Jason Tatum. This team boasts an excellent blend of experience and youthful talent, making them one of the favorites to lift the NBA Championship. It’s hard to imagine Miami getting anything at Boston in Game 1 of the playoffs. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat: Over 208.5 points!
