The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as an 8 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have been having a great start to the season after going all the way to the NBA Finals last season just to lose to the Warriors. They have the best record in the NBA right now and they have been crushing teams in their games as they look to prove they are the best in the league and try to get back to the Finals again. They have been playing like the best team in the league and they have been crushing teams when they play on home court too. They have also been very healthy for most of the season with a lot of their key players avoiding injury, which cannot be said about the Heat as they have had a laundry list of injuries going all the way back to last season. They managed to finish as the number 1 seed in the East last season but the Celtics look to be on a mission to prove they deserve the number 1 seed and they will hold nothing back against a shorthanded Heat team missing their best player here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.

“I feel like we’ve built a great connection. Just building that connection over four years. Man, it feels so much longer than that. It’s not only getting better on the court but it’s getting better off the court. We’re building a brotherhood.” - Bam Adebayo after their win against the Hawks in their game on Sunday.

 

 

“He’s always brought it defensively. I have full trust in him diagnosing where the matchup is, where the advantage is, and what can we do to exploit that. And he’s doing a great job anticipating that once he gets the ball." - Joe Mazzulla after his team’s win against the Hornets in their game on Monday.
