Boston Celtics Form

Boston go into Game 4 of this series knowing a win will give them the opportunity to clinch at home.

The Celtics compiled a league-best 64-18 record during the regular season to finish top of the Eastern Conference, securing home court advantage.

They ended the regular season in good form too, winning 16 of their final 20 games to enter the postseason with a ton of momentum.

Boston's good form continued in their postseason opener as they ran out 114-94 winners at home to Miami.

The Celtics were unable to follow that up in the second meeting, as they suffered a 111-101 defeat, but they rebounded immediately with a 104-84 win on the road.

Miami Heat Form

Miami enter this matchup looking to bounce back from their Game 3 defeat and level up the series once again.

The Heat compiled a 46-36 regular-season record that earned them a spot in the Play-In Tournamnet and a second shot at making the playoffs.

They then needed two chances to advance from the Play-In, bouncing back from a 105-104 defeat to Philadelphia with a 112-91 victory over Chicago.

Miami returned to losing ways in their opening playoff game, losing 114-94 in Boston, but their response to that loss was a strong one.

The Heat took the second meeting with the Celtics, 111-101, only to then lose 104-84 in their opening home game of this series.

Verdict

Boston got their noses back in front in Game 3, and we expect them to pull away in Game 4.

This is a lot of points, but Miami have had serious issues covering as a home underdog this season.
