Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Odds
Boston Celtics Team News
The Celtics recorded two very convincing and safe victories in Florida and got into a great situation to advance to the next round, where the better of the Cavs and Magic duel awaits them. They showed that they are a better team than the Heat throughout the series where they were dominant in every segment of the game. That they should not underestimate the Heat was also shown in the second game, where the Heat came to a break and took advantage of a bad performance in the defense of the Boston Celtics team.
The Celtics remained in Game 4 of the playoffs without Kristaps Porzingis, who injured his calf and will be out for several weeks. It looked like Porzingis injured his Achilles tendon, but it turned out to be a minor injury and if the Celtics reach the East Finals, Porzingis should be ready for that series. Certainly, the absence of Porzingis will be a big problem for the Celtics, especially for the aspect that Porzingis with his shooting and mobility can further expand the opponent’s defenses and bring a lot of space in the floor for Brown and Tatum to penetrate. Horford and Tillman should get more minutes for the Celtics, who will try to bring additional strength under the basket.
In the fourth match in this series, Derrick White dominated, scoring 38 points and being a key player in the Celtics’ victory. Tatum added 20 points and had 11 rebounds, while Brown added 17 points. The Celtics once again played aggressively in defense and left Miami below 90 points for the second time in a row!
Miami Heat Team News
Miami is in a problem and, above all, they miss Jimmy Butler offensively, who brought much-needed points for Miami with his individual qualities. Miami only scored over 100 points in one game in this series and they won, but the three-point shooting percentage in that game was fantastic. They made 23 three-pointers with a field goal percentage of 53%. In the other three matches, the shooting percentages were nowhere near as good as in match number two, and each time they were convincingly defeated. But that inefficiency depends a lot on the Celtics’ aggressive defense. During the entire series, the Celtics put pressure on Herro, who is the first offensive option in the attack and did not allow him space for creation and open shots.
Adebayo was a key player in the second match because with his jumps he managed to defend Tatum and Porzingis and their shots from a distance, which brought victory to Miami. In the fourth match, he was the only bright spot in the Miami team, scoring 25 points and adding 17 rebounds.
