The Heat are coming in with very poor shooting in their last game and are looking to pick up something that has been very difficult for Miami in a road win. Look for the Heat to continue to struggle on the road in this game, but also for Boston to light up the scoreboard as the Celtics are able to easily win this game and cover the spread, but also the combined offensive powers push the total over here.
