The Miami Heat (34-41) visit the Boston Celtics (56-19) on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, at the TD Garden.

So far, the Celtics have had the upper hand against the Heat this season. They've won their first three matchups, all by double digits with an average winning margin of 16.3 points. That shows you how the Celtics are man-handling the Heat this year.

Moreover, Boston is on a nine-game winning streak, and has won 14 of their last 15 games. During their current winning streak, the Celtics have produced a 126.0 offensive rating, almost six points higher than their season average. 

However, personnel availability could be a problem for the Celtics in their next game against the Heat. As of writing, key players Jaylen Brown (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and Al Horford (toe) are listed in the team's injury report. They are still the favorites to win against Miami, but they might not be able to win big.

Additionally, the Heat is currently on a five-game winning streak, including a statement 112-86 win over the Golden State Warriors. In the last six games, the Heat has produced an excellent 105.2 defensive rating, which is a seven-point improvement on their season average.

Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Tyler Herro upped his game for the Heat in the last five games, averaging 28.4 points on a 50% clip from three-point territory. It's no surprise that the Heat has won all of those games, as they turn the tables after a lowly 10-game skid.

As for the Celtics, they might miss Jaylen Brown, Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford in this game. Jayson Tatum is still there to lead them to a victory, but winning big against the streaking Heat could be challenging. Our prediction for the Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat match is: Heat (+11.5) cover the spread.
