My private plays I normally reserve for our VIP clients, which means the first 50 people to text “OSB” to the 305 number (305-523-9783) will receive two private plays on this game at no charge. 

So let’s break this one down…

The Celtics enter Game 2 as heavy favorites once again. They beat the Heat by 20 in Game 1, covering a 14-point spread, which is now at 14.5 for Game 2. 

Miami struggled without Jimmy Butler and Terry Rozier, who both remain listed as out for Game 2. 

The Celtics on the other hand are at full strength. In Game 1 Jayson Tatum led the way with a triple-double, and Boston saw 6 players recorded double-digit scoring figures. 

Boston will almost certainly win Game 2, but Erik Spoelstra is a great coach, and he’ll make the right adjustments to keep it competitive. 

Miami’s Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are natural born scorers, and they’ll keep the Heat within striking distance.  

So for our Heat vs. Celtics expert pick, take the Miami Heat to Cover (+14.5) in Game 2 on Wednesday
