NBA predictions, picks, and odds for the Miami Heat at Boston Celtics on 5-1. NBA Playoffs best bets and same-game parlay analysis.
With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined with an injury, how will the Celtics deploy their lineup in a potential clincher against an even more banged-up Heat squad? Jon Metler takes a look at Jayson Tatum's inflated scoring prop odds to find the best value.
My Heat vs. Celtics predictions weigh Miami's chances at delivering an even bigger upset than it did in last year's playoffs or whether it's Cancun time for Adebayo & Co.First off, it's worth noting all of the injuries plaguing both sides entering Game 5. Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier are both still out for the, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will also be out after playing in Game 4.
Tatum is trading with a total of 27.5 points, which is one point higher than we have seen for him in this series. Tatum has gone Under the total of 26.5 in three of his four games against the Heat, which would typically force this number to drop. But with Porzingis out, we're able to buy a 27.5 on Tatum because the expectation is his usage will be higher.
Even if the Celtics can generate switches for Tatum, the Heat have other players who can be disruptive to his offensive game. Do you want to shoot over the 6-foot-10 Nikola Jovic? I wouldn't. The only way the Heat can remain competitive in this game is by controlling the pace and hanging their hat on solid team defense, and Tatum is the focal point of that game plan. Tatum will still score some points — he will probably score in the 20s — but 27.
