Celtics vs Heat – NBA: Game Details Summary
- Boston 35-13 overall: +3.0 (Unibet)
- Celtics' moneyline betting odds: +123
- Miami 26-22 overall: -3.0 (Unibet)
- Heat' moneyline betting odds: -148
- Game time: Tuesday, January 24th, 2023 @ 7:30 PM ET
The Boston Celtics will enter the game with an overall record of 35-13 on the season. They remain the top-ranked team in our NBA power rankings, however, they took a really bad loss on Monday. The team lost to the Orlando Magic by double-digits in a game that Orlando hosted. Boston doesn’t have a great depth chart right now when it comes to injuries so this is a time in their season when they might go through a bit of a lull.
Boston started Blake Griffin last night, something they don’t do too often. If they remain reliant on him for minutes on Tuesday, then it should be noted that they could look like a very different team than normal. He has played 35 minutes in January games so far and has just 3 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists to show for his efforts. We could be seeing the beginning of the end of the top pick from the 2009 NBA Draft as his production is very low.
Miami Heat: Recent Form Alert
- Miami Heat were 12-15 (December 11th, 2022)
