The Miami Heat will win Game 4 over the Boston Celtics.
Again, this may not be the hottest take alive, but the Boston Celtics are favored in Game 4. They’re coming off of a win, with all the momentum on their side. But or all the aforementioned reasons, along with the Miami Heat’s recent history in the playoffs, I think Boston drop this one.
Jimmy Butler and this team have responded well to resilience in these playoffs.
After nearly losing Game 3 to the Indiana Pacers, Miami responded with by holding them to just 87 points in Game 4 and ultimately sweeping them in the first round. And after dropping Game 4 to the Milwaukee Bucks, Butler and the Heat rallied and put them away in Game 5 days later.
All this gives me faith that the Miami Heat should get the most of their guys and the best of the Boston Celtics on Wednesday, ultimately pulling out Game 4. Whether they close it out in Game 5 or not is beyond me (for now) but check back after Wednesday night’s matchup.
The Miami Heat will look to make it a three to one series lead on Wednesday when they face off with the Boston Celtics. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 pm EST. Coverage will be provided by ESPN.
