Boston @ Miami picks

Tyler Herro has tallied 0.1 technical fouls per game this year, making him one of the most highest-fouling players in the league when it comes to getting T'ed up (83rd percentile). The matchup against Boston is a difficult one for scoring; when the Celtics are on the road, opposing starting SGs have put up the 12th-lowest FG% in the league this year (38.1%). The Heat have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the NBA over the last 10 games on their home court. Offensive rebounds preserve possession and result in additional opportunities for scoring and assists, but the Heat rank 6thworst in in the NBA with just 9.6 offensive rebounds per game this year. The Celtics have allowed the most offensive boards per game (13.6) in the NBA to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
