Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Preview

Set to meet for the first time since their Eastern Conference Finals matchup, the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will face off at AmericanAirlines Arena. That series went the way of the Heat in six games, however, it has been Boston which has gotten off to a better start in 2020-21. Their latest 126-114 victory against Toronto, in which Jayson Tatum scored a season-high 40 points, moved the Celtics’ record to 5-3, whereas Miami sits 3-3. The Heat won their latest game against the Thunder 118-90, marking the second straight game in which they have conceded fewer than 95 points. The Celtics are 5-1 this season when scoring 100+, indicating Miami’s ability to perform defensively could be crucial. In a potential blow to Boston, both Jeff Teague and Marcus Smart are questionable.
