The NBA action continues here on 5/27/22 with Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics. The NBA game is set to take place at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The game is expected to be aired on ESPN in the United States.

The Celtics is coming here with a record of 62-36 on the season so far and when playing at home the Celtics are 33-16. The last game allowed Boston to take a 3-2 series lead. Still the Celtics in their last game ended up picking up a 13 point road win over Miami by a score of 93-80.

The winning effort seen the Celtics shoot at a clip of 46% from the field and 30% from the three point line. The Celtics have ended up shooting at a clip of 74% from the free throw line. The Boston Celtics have pulled down a total of 46 boards in the game and managed to get 24 assists. The Celtics ended up blocking 7 shots and had 5 steals, but turned the ball over 15 times. The Celtics were led in the scoring by Brown with 25 points, but Tatum had 22 points in the game. The rebounding leader was Tatum who pulled down 12 boards in the game to complete a double-double.

This year Boston has managed to get a total of 111.8 points per game scored, but have allowed a total of 104.5 points per game. The Celtics have pulled down 46.1 boards per game and have allowed the opponent to get 43.7 boards per game. Boston has ended up shooting at a clip of 46.6% on the year and have managed to land 35.6% of the three point shots. The Celtics have ended up shooting at a clip of 81.6% from the free throw line.

The Heat is coming here with a record of 63-35 on the season so far and on the road the Heat have posted a record of 27-21. The Heat are coming here in a must win situation and playing on the road against a fairly decent Celtics home team will prove difficult.

The loss for Miami ended up coming on the heels of horrible shooting. The Heat shot at a clip of 32% on the day from the field and only 16% from the three point line. The free throw shooting was the only bright spot for Miami who landed 93% of the free throws. The Heat ended up with 49 boards and 14 assists.

The Heat were led in the scoring by Adebayo with 18 points, but he did have a double-double with 10 boards. The second high scorer was Vincent off the bench with 15 points, but the leader in rebounding with 11 boards was Tucker.

This year the Heat have managed to get a total of 110 points per game, but the Miami Heat have allowed a total of 105.6 points per game. Miami has pulled down 43.7 boards per game, but have ended up giving up 41.7 boards per game. The Heat are coming in shooting at a clip of 46.7% from the field and 37.9% from the three point line. The Miami Heat have ended up getting 80.8% of the free throws to land.

After being burnt by the over in this series lately, we are thinking this game will hit the under. Neither team has shown that they are capable of lighting up the other teams defense and that will continue in this game. Still, I look for the Heat to cover the spread in this game, but will the Heat end up winning the game? I do not see the Miami Heat winning the game at all, but the spread I do see being covered in the game here.
