LiontipsBoston - Miami: NBA match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Boston accelerated so much that it didn't even notice how, after losing to Oklahoma (112:118), it had nine wins in a row. Joe Mazzulla's car rushes through the Eastern Conference, sweeping away everyone who dares to get in the way. In the last match, the Celtics hosted Memphis and, at first succumbing to the local flavor, lost the first quarter. But then they quickly remembered who was the favorite here, and confidently put the squeeze on the opponent — 117:103.
Al Horford suddenly decided that age was just numbers, and scored 26 points. Jason Tatum and Derrick White scored double-doubles: one with 25 points and 14 rebounds, the other with 14 points and ten assists. There were also 19 points from Kristaps Porzingis and 18 from Jrue Holiday. Together, they brought the team's balance to 56 wins with 19 losses, which makes it possible to confidently look from the height of second place in the East.

1.88Tip and bets
The bookmakers in Miami don't believe it, which means we can only shrug our shoulders. Boston is a machine, a hit team with character, but, alas, without a part of its backbone. The Celtics are heading to the playoffs at a great pace, and the Heat have not lost their playoff chances yet, but they will have a hard time without key players.
Our betting tip is for Boston to win by a head start of (-9.5) points, including overtime in 1.72
Bet on the total
The history of meetings suggests that Boston and Miami like to play defense. The average total of their last ten games is 210 points. However, this time there is reason to expect a more productive match. The Heat have defensive problems, and the Celtics are averaging 117.2 points at home.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 216.5 points, including overtime in 2.09
The bet on the player
Jason Tatum is a man who gets the ball in his hands, and he'll show you wonders. Fifth place among the best snipers of the season — 27.1 points on average per match. A year ago, he had 26.6, which means that progress continues. And this time he has a great opportunity to add a couple extra points to his score.
Our betting tip is that Tatum's total score is over 28.5 for 1.87
