When Boston landed Miami in this year's playoffs, everyone expected the top seed in the Eastern Conference to cruise past the eighth seed. But while they did that effortlessly in Game 1 with a 20-point thrashing, the second game proved slippery. Miami caused an upset in Boston after earning a well-deserved 111-101 win to even out the series. They torched Boston with 23 three-pointers, just two shy of the playoff record. Impressively, they did this without the services of Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier. With 32 attempts, the Celtics only managed 12 three-pointers. This best-of-seven battle now moves to Miami on Sunday, April 28. Boston is the 9-point favorite in Game 3 of this contest.

Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Boston will be keen to avoid another playoff nightmare from Miami, who dumped them out of last year's postseason tournament. They will hope that Jaylen Brown, who scored 33 points in Game 2, and Jayson Tatum, who scored 28, will continue their impressive plays in Miami. But first, they must effectively deal with Bam Adebayo, who scored 21 points and 10 rebounds last time out in Boston. We definitely have a playoff match on our hands this weekend. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat: Boston will bounce back with a win!
