Boston vs Miami on Saturday, April 27, is Game 3 of this best-of-seven NBA playoff series. Boston came into this postseason tournament as one of the favorites after finishing the regular season with an impressive record of 64-18. Bookmakers are tipping the Celtics (+120) as the favorites to win the 2023-24 NBA Championship and end their 14-year wait. They are already on course to do that after beating Miami Heat 114-94 in the first round of the playoffs, with the second tie to be played on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the top seed in the Eastern Conference may look to ensure this series ends by Game 4. This could be sweet revenge against Miami, who dumped them out of last year's competition. Miami will need to quickly find a solution to Tatum, Brown, Holiday, White, and Porzingis, who have an average of 11 points per 100 possessions. This All-Star group will be keen to ensure that Miami doesn't become a serious threat this time around.

Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction

If Boston wins Game 2 and 3 of this series, it could be all over for Miami. With Butler out of the series with a "severe MCL sprain," Miami will likely look at Adebayo to lead the line. But Boston is not taking any chances. Their head coach, Joe Mazzulla, said before the start of the series that Miami Heat can quickly adapt without its star forward. However, the defending Eastern Conference champions may just be too shallow to stop the Celtics this time. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat: Boston Celtics to win Game 3 of this matchup.
