Game preview Miami vs Boston
The Celtics are down three games to one in this series but are still big 7.5 favorites in this game. When will the Heat get some respect? Miami has been the better team in this series and no matter what the point spread in this game, the Celtics are barely hanging on in this series.

Homecourt advantage has helped Boston score 120.5 per game versus their opponents on the road (115.4); they had averaged 120.5 on average when playing at home versus 115.4 when away (on offense, they averaged only 101.9 over that span as opposed to overall).
