Miami Heat at Boston Celtics
The Celtics and Heat have faced each other in the playoffs four out of the last five years, with the Heat winning two, and they all went at least six games. Boston was the clear-cut best team this year, finishing in the top three in offensive and defensive adjusted ratings. They were also the best at grabbing the first basket, as their 63% success rate was No. 1. For this game, I’m paying attention to Jayson Tatum. No Jimmy Butler to guard him could allow Tatum to have a memorable series starting with the first basket.
Pick: Jayson Tatum (+700)
