T.M. Selection: Miami Heat.

I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The series here is all tied up at 2 and the Heat have been alternating between wins and losses in this series. They just lost their most recent game and didn't look great in that game but each game of this series has been so lopsided and I think this will be a game that the Heat dominate and win in here on their home court. They have looked great in their home games this postseason, they did lose on their home court earlier this series in the 2nd game but that was their 1st home loss this postseason and I think they are going to bounce back after their previous game and put up a dominant performance here. The Heat have also never trailed once in a series in this postseason and I think that is going to continue here with the Heat taking a series lead on their home court here. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found in their previous game and really, none of the players on their starting rotation put a good effort in that game since they were all shut down by the Celtics. I don't think that will happen again here though and I expect Butler to have a much better game here. Lowry has also been contributing in their games with a good defensive effort since coming back but this will also be his 1st game back on home court and I think he is going to have a big game defensively here while his teammates take care of the offense. The Celtics got through the Nets easily in the 1st round but they had a big challenge in the 2nd round kicking out the defending champs and it took them 7 games to do so. I think they are going to start feeling the exhaustion from that series the deeper we get into this one and I expect a good effort from the Heat on their home court here to win this game and take the series lead. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 104-95 Heat.
