Heat vs Celtics NBA Betting Pick and Prediction for 05/01/2024

 

For tonight’s NBA Playoff pick, the Miami Heat are travelling to Boston to take on the Boston Celtics. In this NBA Playoff series, Miami is desperately trying to keep from being eliminated in Game 5. However, without Jimmy Butler, is it possible for them to keep-up with the Celtics? The sportsbooks don’t seem to think so but here is my Heat vs Celtics NBA Betting Pick and prediction on it.

The Celtics (1) are currently 3-1 in this NBA Playoff series against Miami and the sportsbooks have a lot of confidence in them. In fact, they are a 14-point favorite for tonight’s game with a -1000 moneyline. Since the pre-game lines went up for that matchup, we have seen several changes to it. At the moment, it is a good time to find good value in this game. Especially since the sportsbooks are trying to keep the betting handle even on both sides.

The Heat (8) are a solid team with a good defense. However, their lack of offensive power is evident. During Game 4, Miami shot 41% from the field ands turner the ball over 15 times. During the game, All-Star C Bam Adebayo led Miami with 25 points on 11-for-22 shooting and 17 rebounds. However, that was not enough to keep up with Boston leading to a 102-88 road loss.

On the other hand, the Boston Celtics are on fire and have won their last 37 of 41 home games during the regular season. So far, the Celtics have been very impressive during the NBA Playoffs with 2 straight up victories while on the road.

According to the latest NBA News, what will probably affect their game is that they may be playing without their 7’2 center. Kristaps Porzingis. This is because he went down during game 4 and may be suffering from a calf or an Achilles injury. However, even if he is missing, Boston has a lot of strong players that will pick up the slack.

Heat vs Celtics NBA Betting Pick

Bet on the Miami Heat at +14

Miami will have a tough time defeating Boston but it is very possible as they were able to defeat the Celtics in Boston during Game 2. Either way, do not expect them to just rollover for the Celtics. Let’s just say that this is Miami’s last stand as their back is against the wall.

While I am not confident that Miami has a chance of winning, they will definitively cover the spread. The best basketball betting strategy would be to bet on spread as a -1000 Money line is too expensive to make it worthwhile.

Statistically speaking, the Celtics have 42 wins against their last 82 game this season. Thus, I predict the Boston Celtics will win 104-96.
