The Celtics are 8.5-point favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. They have -380 moneyline odds as the favorites. The point total is set at 223.5, and the Heat have +310 moneyline odds as the underdogs at home.
Heat vs. Celtics, 7:30 p.m. ET
Pick ATS: Celtics -8.5
Boston is off to a hot start this season and has a 17-4 record coming into this one on a four-game win streak. Miami is trying to turn its season around and has won three in a row. The Celtics have scored at least 122 points in four straight games and are rolling opponents at this point. Even though it is a higher point spread, I think Boston covers.
Over/Under: Over 223.5
These teams are on opposite ends of the scoring metric. The Heat are playing better defense and limiting the scoring of their opponents. The Celtics are putting up a crazy number of points, and their offense is clicking. I still think with Boston at home, this one hits the over even with Miami's defensive strategy.
