Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics Game 4 Predictions

Boston Celtics -7

The Boston Celtics have been in deficit 4 times in the last two series and have never lost the following game. The same is expected from Ime Udoka’s team who has managed to boost his team every time they were with their backs against the wall. The Celtics had a slow start in the previous game but almost got back and won. In Game 4, they will not allow that and will take control over the score from tip-off and will get to a comfortable win covering the spread of 7 points. Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart suffered minor injuries in Game 3 and have fully recovered and are ready for the challenge that awaits them in Game 4.

Over 208.5 points

The Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat are two of the top 5 defensive teams in the league and that is one of the reasons why they have made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. The previous game went slightly over this margin and the same can be expected in Game 4 of the series. Both teams shot under 50% from the field in Game 3 and made 23 combined three-pointers. These numbers will probably go up, especially on the Celtics side and that will result in a final score that will be over 208.5 points in total.

Player Prop Pick

Jason Tatum over 28.5 points

The Boston Celtics cannot win if their leading scorer Jayson Tatum is not at least close to his season average. The main reason for the Celtics’ Game 3 loss was his poor shooting performance as he scored only 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting from the field. This wasn’t the first game for him to be under his level in these Playoffs but also he has bounced back every time after a bad game. The same will be the case in Game 4 when Tatum will be hot and go over 28.5 points to lead the Celtics to an important win.
