Boston Celtics @ Miami Heat Free NBA Point Spread Prediction

Boston Celtics @ Miami Heat Free NBA Point Spread Prediction: The Celtics are in a tough spot right now, struggling of late, still worried about their trade deadline deal that sent their biggest defensive presence packing to Oklahoma. Jeff Green hasn’t been much, but maybe that’s because he really doesn’t have a spot on the Celtics squad, aside from playing minutes behind Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce – and let’s be honest, the youngster is neither of those guys.

These two teams are battling it out for seeding headed into the playoffs, and coming into Sunday’s game, it’s all tied up, both teams sit at 55 and 24. But it’s the Celtics that are struggling now, fighting off the end of the season at 5-5 over their last 10 games. The Heat, they are pushing for the playoffs, and though they haven’t been beating up on the big bad teams in either conference, they are 8-2 over their last 10.

The Celtics haven’t lost to the Heat yet this season, winning their first 3 contests by an average of about 5 points per game. But this game means a lot to Miami, more so than it means to Boston, and I think that makes the difference in this one. I’ll take the Heat to win and cover.

Boston Celtics @ Miami Heat -6 (4/10)
