Boston Celtics: news and form
After a complicated start to the season, the Celtics have gradually gained momentum and have joined the Top 3 of the Eastern Conference, while they have 6 games left to play. Boston must however revive following its recent defeat, under penalty of seeing Philadelphia return to its height, while the Sixers have a late success. Solid at home with 26 wins in 38 games played, the Celtics will count on the support of their public to revive, while they remain on 2 wins in a row at TD Garden. Boston should also rely on their defensive performances, as Ime Udoka’s players are the best defense in the NBA, averaging 104 points per game. The Celtics seem less comfortable offensively, but remain efficient with 110.8 points scored per game, the 14th total in the league.
Celtics: players to watch
Still uncertain for this meeting, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown risk representing an absence of weight for the Celtics, while they are the 2 best scorers in the Massachusetts franchise. If their absence is proven, Ime Udoka should count on Marcus Smart to mobilize the troops, the point guard running at 12.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists. Pivot Robert Williams III will miss the end of the season in Boston following being hit in the knee, which might undermine the defensive strength of the Celtics.
Miami Heat: news and form
Opposite, Miami has been slowing down lately with 6 defeats in its last 10 games, but seems to have started once more following its victory in the night from Monday to Tuesday once morest Sacramento (123-100). The Heat thus have a lead on Milwaukee, 2nd, and will try to continue in order to retain their 1st place at the end of the regular season. Erik Spoelstra’s players will also want to improve their record, as they have won 21 of the 37 away games this season, but also take their revenge, Boston having already won in January (122-92) at TD Garden. This will require doing better offensively, the Heat being only the 17th offense in the league with 109.3 points scored on average per game. Miami will however rely on its strength on its side of the field, while the Florida franchise is the 4th defense in the NBA, conceding 105.2 points per game this season.
Heat: players to follow
Miami is expected to arrive with a full five majors and will notably rely on Jimmy Butler to lead the team, the winger averaging 21.2 points, 6 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 33.7 minutes on the court. Bam Adebayo might also shine, while the pivot is essential on both sides of the field with 19.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
