Heat vs Celtics Preview
Miami will travel to Boston on Wednesday for a battle versus the Celtics. For the latest NBA betting trends and NBA free picks on Wednesday’s game, check out our Celtics vs Heat preview below.
Boston Inching Closer To #1 Seed
If the Boston Celtics find a way to win this game, they will be tied in first place with the Miami Heat for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA for the past few weeks and will be coming into this one winning eight of their last 10 games. Boston lost their most recent one to the Toronto Raptors, but Boston sat most of their key players.
On the season, Boston has the second-rated net rating, the 10th rated offensive rating, and the top-rated defensive rating.
Heat Have Been Bad Recently
The Miami Heat are going to be coming into this one arguably playing their worst basketball of the season. Although Miami was able to win their last game, they’ve only won four of their last 10 games.
In their most recent game, they were able to take down a below-average Sacramento Kings team, 123-100.
This was the first game that Miami looked to finally play the style of basketball that people are used to seeing from them, which is exactly what they’re hoping to do down the stretch.
On the season, Miami has the sixth rated net rating, the 14th rated offensive rating, and the fifth rated defensive rating.

For this game, I’m going to go with the Boston Celtics to cover the spread. When factoring in that most of their key players were able to get a night off on Monday, I think the Celtics are going to be ready to go in this one and take care of business.
Boston has been one of the best teams in the NBA for the past few months, while the Miami Heat has struggled mightily the past few weeks.
