Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Points Under 211.5 – 1.77
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Jaylen Brown Total Under 24.5 – 1.83
Match Predict – Away Win
This will be the third game in four nights for both teams, so they will be tired. And we think the Heat will enjoy that fact. The Floridians have a more changeable squad than the Celtics, who depend on two players (Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown).
Total Points – Over 211.5 Including Overtime
We expect to see two defensive teams battling it out on the court, rather than an attacking one. The opponents have a more relaxed style of play, so we’ll take a look at the under the total.
Player Total Points – Jaylen Brown Under 24.5
Jaylen Brown is averaging over 22.5 in recent games. This game will also be no exception, he will help the team score, but the Heat defenders will not allow him to score a lot of shots.
