Recap of Celtics Vs Heat Game 1

These teams had a go at each other in the opening game of this series. Miami won the game 123-116, but the scoreline doesn’t tell a complete tale of the exhilarating action on display at the TD Garden.

• The Miami Heat, who had more than enough time to rest after ending the Knick’s season in six games, showed no signs of slowing down as they remained competitive from the start of the game. Their intensity all game paid off as they won the game as they wrote off the Celtics home court advantage. Jimmy Butler led the team in scoring once again with a game-high 35 points and six steals. Bam Adebayo added 20 points, while Kyle Lowry came big as he dropped 15 points from the bench.

• The Celtics had the game in their hand until they fell to a third-quarter takeover by the Miami Heat. Jayson Tatum remained sharp after dropping a game-7 record number in points in the ECF semi-finals, scoring a team-high 30 points and adding seven boards. Jaylen Brown added 22 points and five assists. Malcolm Brogdon was also impressed with 19 bench points. The Celtics’ turnover was the sum of the game, and they will need to handle the ball better moving on in this series.

Free NBA picks and predictions for Celtics Vs Heat Game 2

Game One didn’t go the way the Celtics expected, and they will need to make important adjustments heading into the second game. Celtics’ head coach is nowhere near Miami’s Eric Spoelstra’s coaching abilities. Still, Mazzula just survived Doc Rivers’ 76ers in the semifinals, and he deserves the props for what he has done with the Celtics so far.

• Celtics had game one until the second half, and if Mazzula had called timeouts when the Heat was running riot, the game might have had a similar outcome. The Celtics have been in this position several times and know the danger of going 2-0 down in this series. This is why FBR analysts, after careful analysis, are backing them to equal the playing ground.

• The odds for Celtics’ moneyline is relatively meager and not worth the risk, which is why our main NBA pick and prediction for Boston Vs Miami game 2 is over 216.5 total points. We expect a high-scoring game like game one.

Pick: Over 216.5 total points

Odds: 2.04 (decimal) +104 (American)
