The Miami Heat (42-25) will play their only back-to-back set against the Boston Celtics (44-22) tonight, a team they haven’t beaten this season. Miami’s two losses to Boston this season were also on the other side of a back-to-back.
After a tough loss yesterday to the Toronto Raptors, the Heat are hoping to get back on the winning side of things before playing the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Celtics are 1-1 in the bubble and have reason to win this game. Miami is on their tails for the third seed, and a win here will almost certainly secure that from them from the Heat.
