The 40-36 Miami Heat will welcome the 50-25 Boston Celtics to South Florida for an Eastern Conference matchup late on Wednesday night. Ahead of our prediction, the home side are 9th in the East standings of the NBA while the away side are 2nd.
It would pretty much take a perfect run home from here for the Heat to do better than a play-in spot for the upcoming postseason having followed up a seven-game win streak with five straight losses.
They picked up a win over the Philadelphia 76ers when they were last in action, enjoying being back on their home court again. Just the top three in the East have more home wins, with only the Golden State Warriors having a worse road record of all the postseason bound teams.
Boston are killing time now ahead of the postseason. They would need a massive collapse from the Pistons to claim the East so their focus is on holding off the Knicks to maintain their grip on second spot.
This is game three of four straight on the road, just 4-4 in their last eight on their travels. They won in Charlotte to kick off the road trip but were beaten in Atlanta earlier on in the week. 3-0 is their record against the Heat this season but the winning margin has been smaller with each game.
