Boston Celtics Form

Boston head to Miami looking to bounce back from a defeat to Oklahoma City that snapped a five-game win streak.

The Celtics enjoyed a six-game streak around the All-Star break, only to end February on a downer with defeats to Detroit, 117-97, and Cleveland, 123-116.

They bounced back at home though, as they downed Denver 110-103, and they backed that up by beating Portland 128-118 and Philadelphia 123-105.

Boston then beat the Los Angeles Lakers 111-101 and Utah 114-108 to take their win streak to five games.

The Celtics were unable to make it six-in-a-row though, as they lost 118-112 to the Thunder on Wednesday night.

Miami Heat Form

Miami enter this matchup in desperate need of a win, having now lost five consecutive games.

Like the visitors, the Heat made a positive end to February as they followed up a 131-109 win over Atlanta with a125-120 victory against Indiana.

They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they began March with a 116-112 overtime loss to New York, only to bounce back immediately with a 106-90 success against Washington.

Miami have not won since though, beginning a five-game skid with the 117-112 defeat in Cleveland.

The Heat then returned home to lose 106-104 to Minnesota, 114-109 to Chicago, 105-102 to Charlotte and 119-104 to the LA Clippers.

Verdict

Boston are the better team in better form heading into tonight's game at the Kaseya Center.

The Celtics have also dominated Miami over the past several seasons, so we are riding with the visitors in this one.
