Currently, he is averaging 23.1 points and 5.2 rebounds per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the field. Kristaps Porzingis did not play on Monday. Significantly, he is averaging 19.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while shooting 52.2 percent from the field. While is their next best option.

Moreover, he is shooting 45.6 percent from the field, including 41.8 percent from beyond the arc.

The Celtics will cover the spread if they can shoot the ball well. Then, they need to defend the angles and not allow the Heat to get open for uncontested shots.

Why The Heat Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Heat will come into this game looking for some momentum. Yet, they will be underdogs in this contest. The Heat are 8-10 against the spread when they have been the underdog. Even more alarming, they are 0-4 against the spread at home. But the Heat are also 8-4 against the spread with a rest advantage.

The Heat need to play their best game to have a shot against the Celtics. Last year, they were able to do that and advance to the NBA Finals. The Heat need Tyler Herro to play well. So far, he is averaging 14.8 points per game in his career against the Celtics. The Heat also want to see Bam Adebayo excel. Significantly, he has averaged 16.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game in his career against the Celtics. The Heat also want Butler to show up and play well. At the moment, he is averaging 18.2 points in his career against the Celtics. But the Heat may be without Jaime Jaquez, as he suffered a groin injury in his last game. Ultimately, the Heat rely on him as a fourth option.

The Heat will cover the spread if Butler, Adebayo, and Herro can all shoot the ball well. Then, they need to force Tatum and Brown to take bad shots.

Final Celtics-Heat Prediction & Pick
