(NBA) Miami vs. Boston, 05/21/2022 8:30 PM, Score: 109 - 103
Point Spread: 6.50 | -107.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat.

I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Heat didn't look good in their most recent game, losing the 2nd game of this series by 20+ points on their home court. I think they are a bit embarrassed by that performance and I expect them to give a much better effort in this game. Marcus Smart returned for the Celtics in the previous game and he made a big difference for them since the Celtics dominated on defense but I think the Heat will bounce back here and they should get some extra help with Kyle Lowry likely returning to the starting rotation for this game. The Heat still looked really good in the 1st game of this series and they haven't been terrible in their road games this postseason either. I think with Lowry back here, the Heat will be much better both offensively and defensively but even if he doesn't make it into the lineup tonight, I still think the Heat are going to try and bounce back here with a strong defensive effort in this road game. The Celtics have been really up and down this postseason, either blowing teams out in their wins or getting blown out in their losses. The Heat have been a lot better in that sense since they have lost a few close games, not getting blown out all the time, and they have won a few road games already so I like their chances of keeping this game close with good defense and covering the spread here. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Celtics.
