Heat vs Celtics Game 6 betting picks – NBA East Finals 2022

This has been the series to watch at this point in the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Unlike the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals have been equally matched, but it feels like the Boston Celtics have figured it out. After falling down 2-1, the Celts rattled off two wins and now will head home with a 3-2 lead. From the start, this series felt like it was going the distance, but it may be difficult for Miami to force game seven with their current injuries.

The Heat are a ferocious team that will not go down without a fight. They may not have the talent that Boston do, but guys like Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry are intense players who will go all-out in this game. No single clash in this series has been very close up to this point, but this should be a great game. The Celtics have the mojo, but the Heat have a lot of heart. It will be tough, but the Heat will keep this game close. They may not win, but they can easily cover the 8.5-point spread.

The Celtics, however, will not lie down and let Miami feast on their home court. Boston have the best defense in the playoffs and currently are healthier than Miami. That being said, the team on the verge of elimination will naturally play with more intensity. As good as Boston are, it will be very difficult for them to prevent game seven. The Heat thrive on disrespect, and this line is a representation of that disrespect. Expect this to be a back-and-forth game where Miami keep it close at the very least.
