For the second playoff series in a row, the Celtics lost Game 1 at home as their usually stout defense let them down big time in the second half of a 123-116 defeat to Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
What Boston has shown throughout the postseason is the resilience to bounce back from defeat, as they are 4-1 after losses so far in these playoffs. Game 2 between the Heat and Celtics tips off at 8:30 pm ET on Friday, May 19th, with TNT and TSN providing broadcast coverage.
After giving up a ridiculous 46 third-quarter points to Miami in the opener, you can count on the Celtics making a much more concerted effort on the defensive side of the ball for Friday’s affair.
Heat vs Celtics Game 2 Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami Heat | +320 | +9 (-110) | O 215 (-110) |
| Boston Celtics | -400 | -9 (-110) | U 215 (-110) |
Laying 8.5-points for the series opener and not even winning straight up, you might think the betting line would be a bit tighter for the next meeting between these two, but that’s not the case. The Celtics have opened as 9-point chalk to come back with a vengeance and even the series before heading to South Beach.
