The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat will play in the first round of the playoffs. This will be the fourth time in the last five years that these two teams have met in the playoffs.
The Celtics won all three matchups against the Heat this season, but this is a team they cannot take lightly in the playoffs and certainly can’t underestimate them either.
This is the second consecutive season where Miami made the playoffs through the play-in tournament. The Heat took out the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round and went all the way to the Finals last year.
The Celtics are at full strength and should be able to wrap this series up quickly.
The Heat will be without Jimmy Butler (MCL) and Terry Rozier (neck) is still in question, but he hasn’t played in about two weeks.
Here is the first round schedule:
