Miami at Boston

Game of the Month - The alternating wins and losses came to an end, and Boston has established itself as the better team after winning on Miami's home court, 93-80, in Game 5. The Heat couldn't do much against Boston's suffocating defense and shot just 31.9% overall and 15.6% on 45 3-points attempts. Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 25 points, and Jayson Tatum added 22, but it was on the defensive end where the game was decided. Now the Celtics go back home for Game 6 with all the confidence and momentum, and Miami still will likely be without Tyler Herro, who has a groin injury. Miami is 2-7 ATS in its past nine games as an underdog, and Boston is now 9-3 ATS when playing with one day of rest (20-8-1 ATS its past 29 games overall). Also, the Celtics are 29-14-1 ATS in their past 44 games as favorites, and Miami has averaged only 81 points the last two games. Back the Celtics for my NBA Game of the Month.
