Boston Celtics

We can say that the "Celts" are slowly returning to their previous level. Of course, the optimal form is still far away, but progress is noticeable and Aime Udoka can exhale to a certain extent.

Boston showed class in the last meeting, when they declassed New Orleans on the road (107-97). The guests gave the opponent only one quarter, however, they controlled the course of events all the time. The Celtics climbed to the ninth line of the Eastern Conference and almost caught up with Toronto. There is clearly still room to move and grow. Ahead is a duel against the leader, but there are good chances to take points, as the Heat began to sag.

Miami Heat

The Lights are still leading the Eastern Conference, but Chicago is already breathing down its back, plus Philadelphia has joined the race for first place. Wards of Eric Spoelstra demonstrate a good game, however, it is not so easy to stay on top.

After three victories in a row, Miami still lost, however, Toronto had to make a lot of efforts to make the opponent make a mistake. The game ended in overtime, where Jimmy Butler and company lacked quite a bit (120-124). The Heat will try to rehabilitate themselves, but they are waiting for a trip to the TD Garden arena, where it will be difficult to take points.

Prediction

There is no doubt that Miami will fight to the last, but the team is experiencing problems with the composition. The Heat lead the Eastern Conference, but the bookmakers do not believe in the success of the team before leaving for the TD Garden arena. Boston felt that they could do more and it seems that in the second half of the season the club will perform better. The players have more or less adapted to the new coach and now all that remains is to improve. In our opinion, the Celtics will take advantage of the opponent's problems.

Our prediction is the victory of the Boston Celtics, taking into account the overtime for the odds of 1.69 in 1xBet.

We assume that on the court there will be a battle of two defenses rather than attacks. Opponents profess a more restrained style of play, so we suggest paying attention to the total under.

Second bet is for a total under 217.5 points for 1.53.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.69.
