The game here will be a good one and will definitely make good on the money the fans pay to watch. Look for the Heat to continue to play good in this game here, but the main thing that will come up is the fact that the Heat have had more time off and that extra rest will help the Heat in getting ready for the game here and playing at a high level and the rest allows the Heat to refocus their offense to the type of defense the Celtics normally run and how to pick it apart which is why the game goes on the over.
