LiontipsMiami — Boston. Forecast and bets for the NBA match
Command Analysis
Current form
After Jimmy Butler was traded to Golden State, Miami still can't come to its senses. The team lost an important leader, and this factor immediately affected the results. The Heat are no longer in the top 6 of the Eastern Conference, having lost their place to Detroit.
In the last match, Eric Spoelstra's team unexpectedly lost to Brooklyn (86:102). The offensive game completely failed – the team scored only 86 points, demonstrating poor shooting. Tyler Girro tried to pull Miami forward, but it was difficult to do it without the proper support of his partners.
The Heat have won only two of their last five matches. There is a difficult test ahead – a meeting with one of the main favorites of the season, and Miami will need to give their best to have a chance of success.

Drew Smith will not play in the next match due to injury.

Miami continues to have problems with the implementation of attacking combinations. The team is unstable, and the absence of Jimmy Butler is still affecting the game. The Heat alternate wins with losses, which prevents them from clinging to the top 6 of the East.
Boston is acting coolly and confidently. Jason Tatum is in great shape, and the Celtics' teamwork is at a high level. Even in an away match, Boston is considered the favorite, and this is fully justified. We believe that the Celtics will achieve victory.
Our forecast is for Boston to win, taking into account the handicap (-4.5) points in 1.78
Bet on the total
In the last match, Miami showed great problems offensively, scoring only 86 points. The team looked disorganized and made a lot of mistakes.
Boston has traditionally shown good performance, but it may face difficulties against a motivated opponent on the road. We assume that the game will be played in a closed style, and the total will not be broken.
Forecast - total less than 223 points in 1.66
Betting on statistics
The Heat continue to rebuild after Butler's departure. The team has not found a new attack model and is still playing unstably.It will be extremely difficult to prove yourself against the reliable defense of Boston. We believe that Miami will have difficulty attacking again and will not break through its individual total.
Prediction – Miami's individual total is less than 112.5 points per 1.80
