Miami at Boston

The Boston celtics appeared to see their season go up in flames after newly acquired Gordon Hayward went down with a season ending injury just five minutes into their first game. The Celtics lost their next game, but with dramatic improvements by Jaylen Brown, and all-star caliber play of first round pick, Jason Tatum, the Celtics have been tough to beat. Boston is 26-7 on the season, but have not been as crisp as we saw them earlier. Boston is just 4-3 in their last seven and has covered just four of their last 12. Miami is playing well right now, winning four of their last six games. More importantly, they are playing defense - an essential ingredient for staying with Boston. Miami has held four of their last six opponents to 98 points or less, and should be able to stick around to a rather inflated number. Take the points on Miami.
