Heat Vs Celtics Prediction | Best NBA Playoffs Game 6 Picks

Per the Celtics injury report: PG Marcus Smart(questionable), C Robert Williams III(questionable), and PF Sam Hauser (out). Boston has a good chance to return to the NBA Finals, if Smart is able to play. The Celtic are determined to prove critics wrong. Will the Heat win Game 6?

Two consecutive wins for the Celtics are impressive, especially how easily they did it. . It’s not easy for any playoff team win three consecutive games though. The Heat should cover in Game 6. Pick Heat +8.5
