T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics.

I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Wednesday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They had put together 6 wins in a row before losing in their most recent game but their loss was by 3 points in Toronto in a game that they did not have Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown playing in. The Celtics still lost that game without them but they lost in OT by 3 points so they really didn't even need them in that game and they still had a really good chance at winning that game. They will both be back for this game and I think that is just going to be an added boost to a team that was already playing great without them but they are the heart and soul of this team so with them back in the rotation, I see the Celtics being a very tough team to stop. They only missed their most recent game due to the current rules in Toronto, they both played in their 6 wins in a row before that loss and the Celtics have been destroying teams lately, winning all of those games but 1 by 10+ points. The Heat have had their own troubles lately, they just lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. They finally ended their losing skid with a win against the Kings but the Kings have had a terrible year and won't even be in the playoffs this year when all is said is done. The Celtics pretty much have a playoff spot locked up but they are still chasing down the 76ers to win their division and with the 76ers losing last night, the Celtics should be motivated here since they have a chance to move up in the standings. I don't like how the Heat have looked lately, losing a lot of their games near the end here and they have had a healthy rotation too. I think the Celtics are 1 of the best teams in the East with the way they are playing at the moment and I think they are going to win this game by a lot. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Celtics.
