Miami Heat Form
Miami go into this game looking to issue an immediate response to a blowout defeat in the series opener.
The Heat put together a 46-36 regular-season record that earned them a spot in the Play-In Tournamnet and a second crack at making the postseason.
They failed to take their chance in their first Play-In game, as they were beaten 105-104 by Philadelphia in a game that also saw them lose Jimmy Butler to injury.
Miami took their second opportunity in the Play-In Tournament though, as they dominated Chicago on their way to a 112-91 win.
The Heat were brought crashing back down to Earth in their playoff opener however, as they were beaten 114-94 in Boston on Sunday.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston enter Game 2 looking to open up a two-game lead in the series before they head to Miami for Games 3 and 4.
The Celtics put together a league-best 64-18 record during the regular season to claim top spot in the Eastern Conference, and home court advantage of the playoffs.
They ended the regular season on a fine run of form that saw them win 16 of their final 20 games - a sequence that included a nine-game win streak.
Boston closed out the regular season with back-to-back wins, beating Charlotte 131-98 and Washington 132-122, and they kept that winning run going in their postseason opener.
The Celtics opened up this series at home and dominated Miami as they ran out 114-94 winners last Sunday night.
Verdict
We are expecting another win for Boston, but this may not be a massacre at the TD Garden.
Miami are not facing a quick turnaround against a team who had not played in a week, so we expect them to be fresher and better prepared here.
