Heat vs. Celtics NBA Playoffs Game 6 Odds, Lines, Picks & Predictions

Check out our Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics betting picks and odds for the NBA Eastern Conference Finals Game 6 that will take place in TD Garden in Boston, MA, on May 27, 2022.

The Boston Celtics are one win away from advancing to their first NBA Finals since 2010 when they lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics were the best team in the Eastern Conference in the NBA Playoffs and it will be fully deserved if they put themselves in a situation to play for their 18th NBA championship.

But it is not over until it’s over. The Celtics have a 3-2 lead over the top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Miami Heat, and will have a chance to close the series at home on Friday evening.

The Celtics found themselves in a  2-1 deficit before their last home game against the Heat but managed to win the last two games pretty easily and now they are in a situation to have their destiny in their own hands.

Both the Celtics and the Heat had a lot of problems with injuries and it seems like the Heat will pay a higher price for that. Miami’s best player Jimmy Butler suffered an injury in Game 3 and despite the fact that he has not missed a game, he is simply not the same player since then. Butler scored 40+ points in five games in the Playoffs this year but is coming off a 4-of-18 shooting performance in Game 5 which the Celtics won 93-80. The Sixth man of the Year Tyler Herro is out for the Heat and he is doubtful for Game 6 in Boston.

Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics Game 6 Predictions

Miami Heat +9

The Miami Heat had an amazing season managing to stay on top of the Eastern Conference despite the strong competition in the closest regular season in the last decade. The Heat were fearless in the opening two rounds of the Playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks and the Philadelphia 76ers and started well against the Celtics but now are facing elimination when they visit Boston on Friday evening. The Heat are not in their best shape as Jimmy Butler is not at his 100% and their best player off the bench Tyler Herro is sidelined with injury. Miami lost the last two games against Boston by double-digit margin but knowing how tough of a team they are, they will not go down without a fight. Boston is the favorite and will have the pressure to close out the series at home but the Heat will be able to keep the game close and cover the 9-point spread.

Over 201 points

This is the lowest over/under margin in this series but is still higher than the total from the last game. Both teams shoot poorly in Game 5 which will not be the case in this one. This margin will be easily covered as at least one of the teams will go over 100 points this time and the other will follow right back.

Player Prop Pick

PJ Tucker under 7.5 points

PJ Tucker is a defensively oriented player and all he does on the offensive end is shooting trees from the corner. He is a decent shooter but he made only 1 of his 5 attempts in the previous games and finished Game 4 with 0 points. Tucker averaged 7.6 points during the regular season but has gone over 7 only ones in the previous 5 games of the series against Boston. He is shooting only 30% from the three-point line in the last 10 games and will not go over his season average in Game 6.
