Heat vs Celtics Predictions, Odds
The Celtics are favored to win this first round playoff series as they have been one of the most dominant teams in the NBA this year. However, Miami defeated Boston in last year's Eastern Conference finals, taking it 4-3 in the best-of-seven series. The Celtics will be hoping to avoid a repeat of last year's performance as they take on a motivated Miami team.
