The Celtics went on to a highly controversial third game of the series against the Heat, losing it, meaning Spoelstra's home court advantage is back, just like in the memorable 2019-20 playoffs. In the fourth game the hosts have no room for error

Boston Celtics

The Celts are having a great season. The team is fighting for a ticket to the finals, while leaving behind the star Brooklyn (4:0) and dealing with the defending champion Milwaukee (4:3), although there was a real felling in that series.

In the third round of the playoffs, Boston went to Miami, however, they started with an away defeat (107-118). Wards of Aime Udoki rallied and showed character at the second attempt (127-102). Jason Tatum and Marcus Smart were great in attack, which helped to level the score. The return to the home arena automatically gave the Celtics an advantage in the third meeting, but the hosts did not take advantage of it (103-109).

Miami Heat

The Lights have been a tough nut to crack, but this season they have become the league's leading team. The guys of Eric Spoelstra took the first line in the Eastern Conference, so they came to the playoff stage in great shape.

The first under the hot hand of Miami was Atalanta (4-1) and then Philadelphia could not do anything with the opponent (4-2). We can say that the players of the "Heat" without any problems reached the finals of the East, where they lead in the series against "Boston". The next meeting will take place at the TD Garden arena, so it will be difficult to achieve a positive result, although in this series the guests have already managed to win away victory once (109-103).

Prediction

Miami knows how to catch opponents on mistakes, so the fact that the team is in the lead in the series is not surprising to anyone, although not everything is so simple. In the course of the playoffs, the "lights" have not yet met such a powerful opponent as the "Celts", it is clearly too early to relax.

Boston really reached a new level and at the beginning of the season there was a change of head coach, that is, the team managed to quickly rebuild and this is worth a lot. The Celtics are losing in the series, but the next meeting will be held at home, so there is a good chance that the hosts will do everything possible to equalize.

Our prediction is for a handicap (-4.5) points for the Boston Celtics for odds of 1.60 in Liga 1xBet bookmaker.

As shown by the three previous fights, the fight is just beginning. Opponents have a defensive style of play, but in the finals of the East they often open up. We assume that in the next confrontation the total will be broken again.

Second bet is for a total over 202.5 points for 1.53.
