Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 78% chance of winning the game
With Jaylen Brown returning to the lineup and Miami missing key stars Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro, the Celtics are heavily favored to extend their winning streak at TD Garden.
Key Analysis
- • Jaylen Brown is off the injury report and expected to play, providing a massive scoring boost for Boston.
- • The Heat are severely depleted without Jimmy Butler (ACL), Tyler Herro (ribs), and Terry Rozier.
- • Boston has dominated the season series, winning both previous matchups against Miami this year.
- • The Celtics boast the 2nd-ranked defense in the NBA, while Miami's defense just surrendered 127 points to the Hawks.
- • New acquisition Nikola Vucevic is set to debut, giving Boston a significant size and scoring advantage in the paint.
- • Miami will need a near-perfect performance from Bam Adebayo and Jaime Jaquez Jr. to remain competitive.
