They are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games overall, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games played on Saturday and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games played on Saturday.

Prediction and Conclusion

The Boston Celtics have another promising season, and they are coming off a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the only team with a better record in the East. One of the teams that was a major problem for the Celtics in recent years was the Miami Heat, who have just an average record so far in the season. The Heat have been struggling with injuries all season long, and as the team is finally completed, they are about to turn up the engines. Boston has won 8 of the last 10 games against Miami and will probably win this one as well, but the spread is too big, so we go with the Heat to cover the +10.5-point spread.
