The Line: Betting Odds: Boston Celtics -1.5 — Over/Under:
The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics meet Saturday in summer league NBA action at the Pavilion. Here’s a Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction. This article will include a Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Pick.
Miami Heat Betting Preview
The Miami Heat will play their fourth summer league game when they take the court. The Miami Heat are averaging 82.7 points on 40.9 percent shooting and allowing 89 points on 45 percent shooting. Kel’el Ware is averaging 19 points and 8.5 rebounds, while Cole Swider is averaging 19 points and 1 rebound. Keshad Johnson is the third double-digit scorer and Alondes Williams is grabbing 5 rebounds. The Miami Heat are shooting 30.8 percent from beyond the arc and 71.1 percent from the free throw line. The Miami Heat are allowing 31.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36.3 rebounds per game.
Boston Celtics Betting Preview
The Boston Celtics will be led by coach D.J. MacLeay. The Celtics summer league roster is highlighted by Jordan Walsh, Jaden Springer and Neemias Queta. That trio has played in a combined 124 NBA games. Drew Peterson and JD Davison have two-way contracts from the defending champs, and they’ll see the court as well. Draft picks Anton Watson and Baylor Scheierman are also on this Celtic’s summer league roster. Tyler Cook and Killian Tillie are both 26 years old and have played in NBA games, and they have to view this as a possible last chance to make an impact in the league.
Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Prediction
This line is a little consisting. Maybe oddsmakers or bettors think the teams from the first round of the NBA playoffs are back on the court? No. Instead, the Miami Heat are fielding a roster that’s played in three games together, while the Celtics will take the summer league courts for the first time. I would think the Heat have the edge in chemistry, considering they have games under their belt. We’re seeing these Celtics for the first time. I don’t understand this line, but I’m not going to argue with the oddsmakers. Give me the Heat and the free bucket.
