Celtics vs. Heat Predictions, Picks & Odds: NBA on ESPN, 4/1
Today’s the middle of the week, the first day of a new month, April Fool’s Day and however else you want to frame it, but for us, it just means that there’s an NBA on ESPN doubleheader. That action tips off in South Beach with a star-studded matchup, which is why we’re here to help make the most of it with our best Celtics vs. Heat predictions for tonight.
Better yet, we’ve also shared how to go beyond just Celtics vs. Heat picks with a guaranteed two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus!
🤔 Celtics vs. Heat Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 4/1
This may not exactly be a likely Eastern Conference Finals preview, but any game is worth having some NBA expert picks! It’s also not completely impossible, but regardless of whether we make Celtics vs. Heat predictions in the postseason or not, both teams are motivated, which isn’t always the case these days.
Boston can still steal the #1 seed from the Detroit Pistons, while Miami needs to worry about navigating those Play-In Tournament seeds. It’s also the fourth and final meeting between these teams this season, and it will be the first in which Jayson Tatum will be on the court. Even still, Boston is 3-0 over Miami this year.
Since we last saw the C’s on a back-to-back, we’ve seen both Tatum and Jaylen Brown rested, not to mention Derrick White. They’re coming off a loss to the Atlanta Hawks, while Miami pulled out a win over Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. With the stage now set, let’s get into the best bet from our Celtics vs. Heat predictions.
🔥 Celtics vs. Heat Best Bet: Boston -5 Points (Add In Daily Sleeper Cards As Well)
As you can see, we’re keeping things nice and simple. While we just said that Boston’s coming off their loss and Miami grabbed a solid win, we’re still backing the C’s on the road. After Brown and White missed Sunday’s game, it was Tatum off the court on Monday night. Now with some rest, we expect all to be in action for our Celtics vs. Heat predictions.
Even without Tatum against Miami this season, we told you that Boston is 3-0 over Miami, covering the spread in each of the first two. The most recent was the outlier on that front, but only by a point and a half. If you’d prefer a different approach, we also like the under here; that last meeting was 98-96.
Boston has been playing as slow as ever for the past two seasons now, so they are one team that we trust to hinder Miami’s lightning-fast pace. Being able to do so is also why we trust them to get the job done, and again, they can absolutely still snatch the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference down the home stretch.
It may be a sweat, but we’re still going to lock in Boston -5 points (pair with Sleeper DFS lineups too) as the best bet from our Celtics vs. Heat predictions.
