Heat-Celtics Game 4 Betting Preview<br />
</h2>
<p>
After splitting the first two games of this Eastern Conference finals series in Miami, it appeared Boston was ready to take control with the next two games at home. Instead, the Heat regained the series lead with a 109-103 Game 3 victory Saturday night. Miami popped out to a 39-18 first-quarter lead and never trailed. The Heat led by 26 in the second quarter and by 15 through three quarters, then let the Celtics get back to within one point at 93-92 with just under three minutes to go. But Miami held on from there for the outright victory as five-point underdogs and cashed in +195 on the Game 3 money line. Also, Game 3 sneaked over a total of 208 thanks to 20 points combined in the last minute of the game! The Heat shot 47 percent from the floor Saturday, Boston 49 percent. And the Celtics won the battle on the glass 44-34. But most importantly, Miami won the turnover battle 24-9, coming up with an incredible 19 steals! With Saturday’s win, the Heat are now 10-4 SU and 8-5 ATS this postseason. With Saturday’s loss, the Celtics are now 9-5 SU, 8-5-1 ATS this postseason. Miami finished two games ahead of Boston in the regular-season standings, but the Celtics took the season series from the Heat two games to one. So these two teams have now split six meetings this season, both SU and ATS. On the injury front, Miami F Jimmy Butler missed the second half of Game 3 with a sore knee and is listed as questionable for Monday night, as are a couple-three other key Heat players. Meanwhile, Boston G Marcus Smart and C Robert Williams are also listed as questionable for Game 4. Bettors might be wise to consult later injury reports before getting down on this game.
