Celtics Expected to Sweep Heat
Boston is laying a massive price to sweep the Heat, who are -50000 to advance to the second round in the NBA Playoffs.
The Celtics left little doubt in Game 1 on Sunday, beating the Heat 114-94, leading by 32 after three quarters before the Heat made the final score slightly more respectable in extended garbage time.
Without Butler available, nobody could slow down Jayson Tatum, who scored 23 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Tatum had a team high 23 as all eight guys that played for Boston had at least six points and six scored in double figures.
The banged up Heat appear to be out-manned in this series, and oddsmakers aren’t relenting in shading towards the Celtics.
