Miami Heat

Unexpectedly for all fans and basketball experts, the Miami Heat leads the series against the Boston Celtics with a commanding 3-0 score. In the third game of the matchup on their home court, the Heat dominated the Celtics with a score of 128-102. Gabe Vincent made a significant contribution to the victory, scoring 29 points. Duncan Robinson added 22 points, while Caleb Martin contributed 18.

Erik Spoelstra's team finished the regular season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and secured a spot in the playoffs through the play-in tournament. Kevin Love's participation in the upcoming game is questionable.

Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics finished the regular season in second place in the East. In the game on May 22nd, Jason Tatum was the standout player for the Celtics, recording a double-double with 14 points and ten rebounds. Jaylen Brown, Grant Williams, and Payton Pritchard each scored 12 points.

The Massachusetts team enters the game without any major injuries. The only player on their injury list is substitute player Danilo Gallinari.

Prediction

Today, experts from bookmaking companies have struggled to identify a clear favorite. Moreover, according to analysts, a slight advantage is expected for Miami. The team from Florida is not considered an underdog for the first time in this series. Overall, this viewpoint seems reasonable. However, it is hard to believe that Boston will concede the series without winning a single game. The Celtics are capable of winning at least one match.

Our prediction is a victory for Boston at odds of 1.99.

In the current series, both teams have delighted fans with their attacking play. In two out of three games, the 230-point mark has been surpassed. Miami averages 108 points in home games, while Boston scores 117 points on the road. However, the upcoming game will determine a spot in the playoff finals. Both teams will focus on defense and may not deliver an overly high-scoring basketball spectacle for the fans.

Our prediction is a total of under 216.5 points, including overtime, at odds of 1.98.
