Tonight is a great opportunity for the Boston Celtics to finish the first-round series.
However, due to significant injuries that will affect the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics before their game five match, both teams will be short-staffed.
On Wednesday night at TD Garden, they can win Game 5 at home. For this match, both teams will be lacking players. A number of important players for the Heat will be absent, including Jaime Jaquez Jr., who was injured in Game 4, Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier, and Josh Richardson, who have not participated in the series.
After two resounding road victories, the Boston Celtics grabbed a commanding lead in their first-round series against the Miami Heat. The Celtics have a great chance to finish strong and get some rest before the second round when the series returns to Boston for Game 5. Since Kristaps Porzingis was forced to leave the game in Game 4 due to a slight injury, this is now even more crucial.
Not only are the Celtics lucky that Porzingis’ injury doesn’t appear to be too serious, but they also have a much weaker roster when they play Miami in Game 5. The Heat are already coping with the injuries to starter guard Terry Rozier and superstar Jimmy Butler, but now they will also be without Jaime Jaquez Jr.
needing to rely on bench players who are becoming older, like as Patty Mills, Delon Wright, and Kevin Love. Because to Jaquez’s absence, they will need to play more minutes.
No club is more aware than the Celtics that the Heat should not be taken lightly. Erik Spoelstra, the coach, is always coming up with new strategies in his playbook to put together formidable teams.
The Celtics are more skilled and have a deeper roster than the Heat, even if Porzingis is probably going to miss the next game. Boston has to take care of business at home on Wednesday in order to start waiting for their opponent in the next round, especially since they already have Miami under control. Playing with your food during the playoffs is never a good idea, especially when your opponent is the Miami Heat.
