Boston vs Miami Prediction: the Celtics to Even the Series Score

In the first road game of their Eastern Conference Finals series, Miami beat Boston, regaining home court advantage. Will the Celtics avoid disaster and win their second home game? Let's pick a few options to bet on.

For the third game of the series, Ime Udoka's team went without their main center, injured Robert Williams. Thats why Daniel Theis took over the starting lineup and failed. Boston lost the first quarter by 21 points and could not catch up. They were about to make a comeback, but the final score was 103-109. The Celtics immediately lost the home-field advantage gained after the second game in Miami. 

Erik Spoelstra's dquad made the most of Boston's defensive woes stemming from the absence of Robert Williams. While the Celtics figured out how to reshape their defense, the Heat led +21. The big man of the game was Miami's Bam Adebayo who took down Boston's center Theis in the paint. After all, Adebayo scored 31 points.

The Heat fulfilled their goal of traveling to Boston, beating the Celtics in Game 1 at TD Garden, and returning home-court advantage. Now back in Florida, Erik Spoelstra's wards will have a chance to build up their lead before the deciding matches. In the upcoming game, the second in Boston, Miami shouldn't play hard if something goes wrong. Things will undoubtedly get tough, as Robert Williams rejoined. Thus, the team will enter the game hyper-motivated and likely not give their opponent a chance to succeed. Prediction - a confident win for Boston.
