What to Know

The Heat will be in front of their home fans on Thursday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. Having just played yesterday, they will get right back to it and host the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET on January 25th at Kaseya Center. The Heat are limping into the game on a four-game losing streak.

The Heat came into the match on Wednesday with a huge advantage in the spread, but given the result that advantage might’ve gone to their heads. They fell 105-96 to Memphis. The Heat found out winning isn’t easy when your three-point shooting is a whole 13.9% worse than the opposition.

Meanwhile, Boston earned a 119-110 victory over Dallas on Monday. That’s two games straight that the Celtics have won by exactly nine points.

The Celtics’ victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jayson Tatum, who dropped a double-double on 39 points and 11 rebounds. Jaylen Brown was another key contributor, scoring 34 points.

Miami’s record now stands at 24–20 after their loss. Boston, on the other hand, has been playing well lately, winning five of their past six games, which has helped them improve their record to 34-10 this season.

In this competition, having a lot of possessions is probably going to be important: With just 12.8 turnovers per game on average this season, the Heat haven’t handed up the ball lightly. The Celtics, on the other hand, don’t exactly have a problem with turnovers either—they average just 12 per game. It will be interesting to watch how their confrontation turns out given these opposing strengths.

In their previous matchup, which took place in October of 2023, the Heat lost 119-111 to the Celtics. Will the Temperature Rise?
