Celtics vs. Heat: Prediction, Probable Starting Lineups, and Injury Updates (Apr 01)

Jayson Tatum’s coming back to the side has boosted the Boston Celtics’ confidence significantly. However, despite making a strong impact in his first couple of games, the Celtics’ star is not happy with his performance. However, in reality, Tatum actually has been delivering some great numbers. He has dropped averages of 19.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists since his return. 

And that’s not all. Following his return, the 28-year-old has received praise from Joe Mazzulla. The Celtics head coach pointed out how Tatum was able to put up a screen during the play. And whenever he did so, the opponents were forced to a 2-on-1 situation. This, according to Mazzulla, was a significant factor in the Celtics’ recent surge. However, there have been some concerns related to their recent form. In the last 5 games, Boston has a 3-2 record. Losing their latest game 102-112 against the Atlanta Hawks, the team will look to win their next assignment against the Miami Heat. 

Trying to compete for the play-in spot, the Heat are seeded ninth in the East. With 40 wins and 36 losses, Miami has had a mixed season. Boasting a 2-3 record in their last five games, fans would want their favourite stars to get back to winning ways. Luckily, Heat would enter the game on the back of a sublime 119-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. And as the two teams lock horns this Wednesday, the game looks like a tough one for Miami.
