Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics preview
The Heat are on a five-game win streak after previously losing 10 straight. Their current win streak has helped them rise to the ninth spot with a 0.5-game lead over the Chicago Bulls. They are two games behind the Atlanta Hawks. If they can move to the top-two play-in spots, they get two shots at making the playoffs.
Miami is coming off of a 120-94 win against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Bam Adebayo led the team with a double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds, while Tyler Herro had 27 points.
The Celtics are on a nine-game win streak and look like the favorites to come out of the East with the Cleveland Cavaliers struggling a bit in recent times. Boston last played on Monday and defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 117-103.
Jayson Tatum (25 points and 14 rebounds) and Derrick White (14 points and 10 assists) had double-doubles, while Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday contributed 26, 19 and 18 points, respectively.
