Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics Injury Report

Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson are probable for the Heat despite all dealing with something. However, the Heat will once again be without Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson. The Celtic’s only injury is Luke Kornet, who will remain out due to a calf issue.

Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics prediction

I don’t want to lay double-digit chalk in an NBA playoff Game as much as the next guy, but I don’t have a choice. The Heat are without their best offensive creator in Rozier, their best player in Butler, and even Highsmith, Robinson and Love aren’t 100 percent. It’s hard enough to hang with the Celtics at full strength, but with the Heat so banged up, it’s hard seeing this Game or series being comPetitive. The Heat play hard and Erik Spoelstra is the best coach in the league. It’s still not enough. It’s Celtics and the massive number or pass for me.
