Miami Heat Form
Miami head out on the road for the first time this season with a 1-0 record after winning their opening game at home.
However the Heat, beaten in last season’s NBA Finals, made hard work of that victory over Miami on Wednesday night.
They were out-scored in three of the four quarters by the Pistons, but a superb second quarter performance proved to be decisive in securing a 103-102 victory.
Bam Adebaya led Miami to victory with 22 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the win.
Jimmy Butler had 19 points and 13 rebounds in a season-opening double double, while Duncan Robinson contributed 15 points off the bench.
Boston Celtics Form
Boston come into their home opener looking to follow up a season-opening win in New York.
The Knicks posed a few problems for the Celtics last season, but the visitors made straightforward work of this one.
They out-scored New York in each of the first three quarters, meaning the Knicks’ fourth quarter fightback was for nothing.
Jayson Tatum was the start of the show for Boston in the win, leading the charge with 34 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.
Kristaps Porziņgis had 30 points and eight rebounds, while Jrue Holiday contributed nine points and four boards in his debut.
Verdict
Boston boast the stronger roster, but Miami's repeated success against the Celtics last year makes them an appealing spread selection.
