Heat vs Celtics Picks & Prediction
This is by far the biggest mismatch of any first round series in spite of these two teams meeting in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Without leading scorer Jimmy Butler, Miami fell behind Boston by 15 points at halftime and trailed 32 points heading into the fourth quarter in a 114-94 defeat.
The Celtics covered as 14.5-point favorites thanks to 22 three-pointers hit with seven players knocking down at least two treys.
Miami's Delon Wright was a perfect 5-of-5 from long distance, but the rest of the Heat squad converted on 7-of-32 three-point shots.
It's hard to make a substantial case for Miami without Butler to turn to, while as long as Boston's stars show up and the Celtics receive contribution from the role players, they can cover this big number.
Pick: Celtics -14.5 (-110)
