Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat Betting Preview

On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will face off in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first round playoff series in Miami. Both teams enter the contest well-rested, with their last game being three days ago. This additional time off can be advantageous for both the Celtics and the Heat, allowing their players to recharge and potentially improve their chances of victory.

Despite being on the road, the Celtics are considered the heavy favorites. The current spread stands at Celtics -9.5, indicating that they are expected to win by a significant margin. The moneyline for the Celtics is -400, implying a 77% probability of victory, while the Heat's moneyline sits at +325, representing a 23% chance of success.

The Celtics have been playing exceptional basketball lately, winning 38 of their last 50 games. On the other hand, the Heat have also showcased strong performance, securing 24 wins in their previous 40 games.

Interestingly, the last encounter between these two teams saw an upset. The Heat defeated the Celtics with a score of 111-101, despite entering the game as 14.0 point underdogs with only a 12% chance of winning. This outcome demonstrates the unpredictable nature of basketball, as Miami set a franchise record for threes made in a playoff game in that Game 2 victory.

For those looking to place wagers, Nikola Jovic's Points, Rebounds, and Assists are drawing significant attention in the prop market. It is currently the most popular betting market for this game. Sharp bettors appear to be leaning towards the Over, as the prop total opened at Over 14.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (-125), before rising to 15.5 (-115).

As basketball fans await this exciting matchup, both the Celtics and the Heat will aim to secure a victory and continue their strong performances. With the odds in their favor, the Celtics will seek redemption for their previous loss, while the Heat will aim to prove that they can overcome the odds once again.
