Game Preview
The Miami Heat host the Boston Celtics at the FTX Arena for a match in which they are favored to take down the leaders in the east. With a 35-13 record, Boston currently sits comfortably atop the Eastern Conference, 5 wins ahead of their nearest opposition in Philly and Milwaukee. 5 positions down is Miami who are 3-2 in their last 5 matches but poised to take Boston down tonight according to oddsmakers worldwide.
Boston is riddled with injuries tonight, Danilo Gallinari is out and Robert Williams III, Marcus Smart, Malcolm Brogdon and Al Hordford are all listed as doubtful. With Smart leading Boston in assists and steals, the pressure is on forward guard Jayson Tatum to further the Celtics’ offensive tonight. Miami isn’t at 100% either, they’re missing Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Omer Yursteven but their key player in Bam Adebayo is on and on fire leading the team in rebounds and blocks in addition to his 54% field goal percentage.
