Boston Celtics Team News
The Celtics are playing atomic basketball this season, and they look unstoppable. This season, they have recorded only 4 losses, have a record of 17-4, and are by far the best team in the entire league. Although they have big problems with injuries, the Celtic’s attack works perfectly, they are the best team in the league in many percentages, above all in three-point shooting percentage, the number of points scored on average, where they score 122 points per game.
First and foremost, Jayson Tatum, who is playing at an MVP level, and most importantly for Celtics fans, has finally matured and is ready to lead the Celtics to the very end. He has great help from Jaylen Brown, who improves every season and dominates in both directions, but in this match, Brown will not play, due to a neck injury.
In the last 15 games, the Celtics have had an unreal 14 victories. In the last match, they beat the Hornets by a margin of 40 points. In that match, Smart had an unreal performance in the first quarter where he scored 10 points and added 9 more assists. All Celtics players contribute in both directions. The effect of Hauser and Kornet, who are excellent replacements for Williams and Gallinari, who have been absent since the beginning of the season, should be taken into account.
Miami Heat Team News
The team led by Erik Spoelstra is playing much worse this season than last year and previous seasons. First of all, injuries cause big problems for the team from Florida. This season, they have not played a single match with their full lineup, and neither will this one. The main player and the biggest star of the team, Jimmy Buttler, who contributes in both directions and has the best +/- rating in the entire team, is missing.
This season, the Heat are in bad shape and are on a negative score after 21 games, and occupy 10th place with a 10-11 record. However, they have been playing very well lately, and are on a three-game winning streak, where they defeated the Wizards twice in a row, while in the last match they defeated the Hawks.
The Heat’s trademark this season is defense, and they often limit their opponents to under 105 points per game. But now they go away to the best attack in the league, where they have a lot of problems with injuries.
But the Heat is characterized by a fighting mentality and they never give up, that will not be the case this time either, and they will want to get revenge on the Celtics for the defeat at the beginning of the season where they were defeated by 7 points in Miami.
