Boston at Miami

Both of these teams seemed to have more trouble than expected in winning their first series. The Heat was supposed to be here with their trio of stars, while the Celtics and their aging trio of stars were hopeful of one last run. I think in the end the talent here in Miami with younger legs is going to get the best of Boston. The Celtics may have a bench advantage, but injuries have plagued them so much, that the bench has not had the same cast of players for long stretches, and really doesn't have an identity or roles spelled out right now. Boston comes into this game with a miserable 17-43-1 ATS mark after a double-digit win. I like Miami in a statement game at home, to show Boston they are the team to beat.
