Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics NBA Picks

by Abe Luciano on Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Miami Heat (36-30) vs. Boston Celtics (50-18) NBA Picks: During the Miami Heat’s win streak last week, the NBA’s leading scorer Dwayne Wade averaged 43.3 points on 53.8% shooting and also had 6.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 4.0 steals. However, after carrying the team on his shoulders to three straight victories, Wade was understandably exhausted, and the Heat couldn’t hold their own weight.

Tonight, Miami travels to the Garden to take on the defending NBA Champion Boston Celtics. Tipoff for this Eastern Conference showdown has been scheduled for 7 PM ET (4 PM PT) and it can be seen nationwide on ESPN.

Sports Odds for this NBA Picks contest have been provided by the fine folks at SBGglobal.com, as they currently favor the Boston Celtics [-4½] defeating the visiting Miami Heat [+4½] by just over two buckets.  

During that stretch, Wade was also averaging over 47.0 minutes per game, as the Heat needed double-overtime to beat Chicago (130-127) and triple-overtime to get past Utah (140-129) last week.

On Sunday, the minutes caught up to D-Wade after playing a career-high 52+ minutes against the Jazz, and was held to 18 points on 8-for-21 shooting in an 85-77 loss at Philadelphia. "I didn't have the energy," said Wade. The OVER/UNDER for tonight’s Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics NBA Picks has been tallied at a combined 191 points.
