Premium Pick

Miami is 4-9 at home, ranked 25th in points scored, and 28th in field goal shooting defense allowing 47.6% shooting. Only Utah and Minnesota are worse. Miami is 1-7-1 ATS at home and 7-19-2 ATS at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Boston is on an 8-2 ATS run and one of the best offensive teams in the league, ranked fifth in scoring with 104.9 points per game. The Celtics have won three in a row and six of nine and no longer have to deal with the distraction of Rajon Rondo's status. The Celtics have improved their depth with the trade and are 9-3 ATS against the Eastern Conference, as well as 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games. Boston is 40-19 ATS against Miami, including 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in South Beach. Play the Boston Celtics.
