NBA Betting Preview

The Miami Heat will try and prove to themselves that they can compete with the top teams in the Eastern Conference as they host the Boston Celtics on Friday night.  The Heat are still not clicking even with Dwyane Wade back in the starting lineup.  Miami has tried to run and gun with teams and that has not worked so they may try slowing things down. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Celtics on the Road.

The Heat are giving up way too many points this season and head coach Pat Riley has had enough. "We don't want to run past what's a great strength of ours," he said, "Sometimes you just get random, and those random possessions cost us turnovers."  Part of the problem with playing at a fast pace is that the Heat has not had Wade at full strength.  That is still the case although Wade is getting closer. "I'm trying to play at different speeds now and I'm trying to catch up to where I need to be," Wade said. "But who knows when it's going to come?"

Here are the NBA betting stats for Friday’s game.  Boston will be playing in a back-to-back situation as they were home to the New York Knicks last night.  The Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on no rest.
