Miami Heat and Boston Celtics are locked in a thrilling 2-1 NBA playoff series in favor of the Celtics. This exciting matchup will resume on Tuesday afternoon in Game 4 at the Kaseya Center. After suffering a shocking 101-111 defeat in Game 2, the Celtics recovered to pick up an impressive 104-84 win on Sunday. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both scored 22 points as Boston forced 12 Miami turnovers. They also limited the Heat to 41.6% shooting. Boston produced a defensive masterpiece that saw them dominate the game's tempo and physicality. They now have a chance to take a commanding 3-1 lead in this series as Miami continues to suffer from personnel problems. Miami coach Erik Spoelstra must quickly devise a new strategy to deal with Jimmy Butler's absence. Bam Adebayo has been excellent, although they need more offensive solutions and defensive aggressiveness. As for the Celtics, they must not undermine this familiar opponent.

Our Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Miami must pull an upset to even up things or risk crashing out of this tournament. Boston Celtics are in good shape and form, with zero injury reports. Miami Heat, on the other hand, must cope without vital players, including Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, and Terry Rozier. They proved they could do that in Game 2 after the Celtics gambled with their defensive adjustments. But all things considered, Boston clearly has more quality and has learned from their Game 2 defeat. Our prediction for Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics: Miami Heat +10.5.

Prediction:

 

Miami Heat +10.5
