The Miami Heat is a tough opponent. The Heat doesn’t play well against Chicago, but that could be about to change. In 3 of the last 5 meetings, the Heat have not lost to Boston by more than four points. We believe that Spoelstra’s men will definitely try to win this game.
Most of the recent meetings between Miami and Boston have not been particularly productive. In the previous five games, the opponents had failed to break the 221.5-point mark. The trend is likely to continue.
