The Heat look to snap the Celtics perfect home record

The Miami Heat have a three game winning streak and are gearing up to play the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics will not be as easy opponent as they hold a 14-5 record while the Heat have a 15-5 record. However, Boston currently has a perfect home record as well as Miami, but the match will be played in TD Garden this time around.

Similarities between these two teams keep pouring in as the season goes along. The Heat are averaging 112 points compared to the Celtics 111 points. In rebounds the Heat get 45 a game and the Celtics get 47.

Given their strong home court presence ESPN’s Basketball Power Index gives the Celtics have a 66% chance of winning. And even though the game is played indoors, it might be hard for Miami to bring the Heat in Boston. It’s currently snowing up north and the Celtics are even having a little fun in the snow ahead of the game against the Heat.
