The Boston Celtics have the opportunity to become the first Eastern Conference team to advance in this year's postseason as they host the Miami Heat up 3-1 in their series. Miami did get a split in the first 2 games at TD Garden though, so it promises to be an intense match-up! Tip-off is at 7.30 pm ET on TNT, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
MIA Heat +14 (-112)
Despite trailing 3-1 in the series, I feel like there's still a lot of life left in the Miami Heat. They've already won once on the road at TD Garden and with their season on the line I don't think they'll go away lightly here. Head coach Erik Spoelstra isn't the type of coach who will allow a closeout game to get out of hand, so I'm expecting the Heat to fight hard here. In 39 elimination games Spoelstra has a record of 23 wins and 13 losses, so the experience factor is on his side.
