The series had the potential to go to seven games although Miami's recent performances might have changed that fact. We finally saw Boston's hardcore defense that could wear down any team and that earned them a 3-2 lead. Miami will have to put everything on the line on Friday night if they want to have a shot at the title. These are our Game 6 predictions of the Celtics vs Heat.

The series is slowly slipping from the hands of the Miami Heat. The Celtics’ rally in the second half of Game 5 put them in a comfortable position. Game 6 is in Boston and the home team is leading 3-2. Miami was held to an average of 81.0 points in the last two games which doesn’t bode well at all. Butler was the main force at the start of the series but he’s been inefficient in the last three meetings. However, the blame isn’t his alone. Miami’s starting five just seems outclassed and outmatched in every possible way. Herro’s recent absence has also proven how crucial he is to the Heat’s bench. Let’s see the Game 6 predictions for the Celtics vs Heat.

Will this be another 7-game series or is Boston going to their first Finals in 12 years?

Miami barely got a win the last time they were in Boston and it seems that the Celtics have put the defensive clamps on them. Herro will most likely return for Friday, putting the Heat at full strength. Hauser is still out for the Celtics but they didn’t miss him as much as Miami did their 6th Man of the Year. Jaylen Brown has taken on a commanding role in the series as if Tatum wasn’t enough trouble on his own. Miami could beat Boston in the paint and on second-chance points.

They have a better bench but they need to figure out quickly how to use that to their advantage. Chucking up 40-50 3s in a game will have similar results as it did for the Mavs. Our Game 6 predictions of the Celtics vs Heat have Boston winning.
