Preview

Tonight we have the Celtics taking on the Heat in Miami. The Celtics were able to bounce back lasntight against a weak Magic team and they will look to get another win tonight against a tough Miami squad. Miami has been on a roll to start the season as they have now won five straight and will look for number six tonight against a struggling Caltics team.

The Celtics will be at full strentgh tonight and will look to continue to fix their defensive woes when they take on the a tough Heat team. They looked like they were in some trouble lastnight against the Magic but their defense stepped it up and they cruised to any easy win.

The Heat come into this game on a roll as the addition of Kyle Lowry has been starting to pay off and along with Tyler Herro coming out on a mission this Heat team is a top team in the East. They were able to take care of the Mavs in their last game and will look to continue their winning ways tonight against a struggling Celtics squad.

 

Boston Celtics

The Celtics will rely on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen brown, they go as far as those two go. Brown has been great to start the year filling up the stat sheet in all categories while Tatum has got off to a slower than usuak start as he has struggled a bit. Horford and Williams will be tasked with slowing down Bam Adebayo in the front court and both have been great to start the year, especially on the defensive side of the ball with Horford also producing on the offensive end. Marcus Smart and Dennis Schroder will be key pieces on both side of the ball along with their playmaking. This Celtics team just doesn't seem right at the moment but I fully expect them to start shooting better and I expect them to start stepping it up on the defensive end. Depending on what Celtics team shows up tonight will determine the outcome of this game.

 

Miami Heat

The Heat are on a roll right now as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro have been fantastic to start the year. Add in that Kyle Lowry is starting to get comfortable in this offense and the Heat could make a case for the best team in the East early on. All four players are able to score, playmake and are solid on the defensive side of the ball. This is a very tough Heat squad that is able to score and give opposing teams trouble on the defensive end. Duncan Robinson has struggled shooting to begin the year but that hasn't hurt them much with all the other pieces they have. PJ Tucker will get plenty of run and is main defensive guy in this rotation who can hit corner three's. The Heat matchup well with this Celtics team and this should be a fun game to watch.

Prediction

I think 7 points is way too much for this matchup tonight as the Celtics are better than what they are showing right now. I expect this game to be close all the way and the Celtics should be able to cover.

PICK: Celtics +7  (-110)
