BOS vs MIA Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

BOS vs MIA Dream11: The NBA Playoffs are reaching their concluding stages and we have seen some incredible battles throughout the Postseason. In the West, the Golden State Warriors have extracted a three-nil advantage over the Dallas Mavericks and are most likely going to reach the NBA Finals. On the other hand, in the East, the Boston Celtics will host the Miami Heat in the Conference Finals.

The Heat took the Celtics by surprise in Game 3 as they opened up a 26-points lead and then did a great job of finishing the game, winning 109:103. Bam Adebayo had a 31 points night out of nowhere and the team overcame an injury scare to Jimmy Butler, who was sidelined for the second half of the game. The Celtics played poorly, turning it over 24 times, can they improve it this time around or will the Heat extract a three-one advantage or will the Celtics tie the matters here?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Celtics need to be better at home, has the Heat found their groove?

The Celtics have lost three out of their five games while playing at the Garden and this has become a rather concern at this point. The trouble is that the team looks a bit vulnerable inside in terms of defense when they are playing without Robert Williams, someone I doubt who would have allowed Bam to go for a 30+ point night. The other concern has been that the Celts go off the mark as a team once Jayson Tatum is not in rhythm.

The Heat has not received much from Tyler Herro, who was someone dialing it in from deep in the Regular Season. Tucker and Lowry are terrific defenders while Strus keeps on nailing the long-ball. The last win was the best for the Heat thus far because the team got it done without Butler and if Adeabyo drains 20+ then it is a bonus considering he brings both offense and defense at an elite clip.

The Celtics received tremendous contributions from Jaylen Brown, who erupted for 40 points whereas Al Horford had 20+ points and 10+ rebounds night to help the matters for the Celtics. Meanwhile Smart and White form strong defensive guard rotation whereas Grant Williams will be huge off the bench again. The Celts need Robert Williams in this game.

Fantasy-related tips

Jimmy Butler finally cooled down in the last game but it took an injury to slow him down. Bam Adebayo continues to be an incredible scorer and rebounder while also giving the blocks and steals. Victor Oladipo can be a decent contributor but Tyler Herro’s stocks have rather dwindled at this point. Tucker is a gamble considering he can drop 5 in one night and then 15 points on the other night.

The Celtics have seen most of the damage done from Jayson Tatum but he was off in the last game. Jaylen Brown has been another dependable option whereas Al Horford can be a reliable fantasy option. Marcus Smart has raised his stocks whereas Grant Williams can be looked at too. However, apart from them, Derrick White hasn’t been that high-yielding.
