The Boston Celtics will make the trip to South Florida to face off with the Miami Heat in their home arena of Kaseya Center this Wednesday (April 1) evening. There, the Celtics are going to be looking to bounce back from a road loss to an Eastern Conference foe as the start of the 2026 NBA Playoffs draws near.
On the other side of the court, the Heat are going to be looking to keep their winning ways rolling forward after a solid win vs. an Atlantic Division ball club. We expect a Celtics win in this one, especially with some good news in the team’s latest injury report.
