Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics: Prediction for the match of the NBA
A defining moment in the series. Boston has a chance and needs to take it. The opponent is imposing almost always and the guests know how to show character. It is especially critical for them to win the second meeting.
Miami Heat
The Houston Astros have clearly not looked formidable this week, losing three in five games and missing out on an opportunity to challenge the New York Yankees for the American League lead. Now the backlog of Dusty Baker’s team from the first line has become very significant and competitors are pressing in behind, who want to move the Texans from the second position. In the opening meeting with the Rangers, the Astros will send Fernandez Valdez (2:2) to the mound, who will try to reverse the unpleasant performances of recent days.
Boston Celtics
Without a doubt, players of the Celtics and the head coach deserve praise, because the teamwork of this club can be envied. Of course, there are some problems, but we should not forget that Aime Udoka took charge of the team only at the beginning of this season. Boston easily dealt with Brooklyn, then spent a lot of energy in the series against Milwaukee, but still made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. “Celts” got to “Miami” and managed to lose one meeting. However, they did not play so badly. There was a struggle on the parquet, but after the break the guests were simply blown away (107-118) ahead of the second duel, so the motivation rolled over.
Prediction
Miami, as a real owner, showed how to act at home. Jimmy Butler has to be credited as it was his play that led the club to turn the tide after the break. In the second match of the series, the "lights" will again take to the floor as the favorite. Boston knows how to act aggressively and we have seen this more than once. In the match against the Heat the team made a number of mistakes in defense, however, there is no doubt that Aime Udoka and his wards will draw the right conclusions. In our opinion, on the second attempt Celtics will be able to fight for the victory. The second bet is a handicap (+5.5) points on the Boston Celtics for a coefficient of 1.68 in 1xBet bookmaker. As the first match showed, no one plans to give up a ticket to the final. We saw a real feeling and we assume that history will repeat itself, that is, we again expect that the total will be broken. Second bet is for a total over 203.5 points for 1.58. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.68. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
