Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics
The Miami Heat had a chance to take down the defending champion Golden State Warriors earlier in the week and a flurry of big Steph Curry shots derailed that plan. Other than that, the Heat have won three of four games and are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, just a win against the Celtics away from tying for third.

Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, to no one’s surprise, are the veteran leaders of the team and the Heat wouldn’t be contenders without them. Bosh is averaging 19.1 points and 7.4 rebounds while Wade is putting up 18.9 points and 4.7 assists per contest. Hassan Whiteside is the budding superstar of the team, averaging 12.8 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.9 blocks.
Surprisingly, the Boston Celtics are in third place in the Eastern Conference and Brad Stevens has done wonders for this organization. He has taken a bottom-dweller and turned it into a title contender in just a few years. With plenty of young talent in place, the future for the Celtics looks even more promising than their current 34-25 record.
Isaiah Thomas has become one of the best point guards in the league as the pint-sized star is averaging a team-high 21.6 points and 6.8 assists per game. Jae Crowder was a great mid-season acquisition a year ago and he’s third on the team with 14.4 points. Jared Sullinger, Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk highlight the rest of the rising talent.
