This is a 10* play on BOSTON.

With three straight wins, the Celtics seem to have turned a bit of a corner. While two of those wins were against Memphis and Atlanta, both struggling teams, the other was over Toronto. The last time Boston lost a home game was all the way back on December 21st against Milwaukee, who has the best record in the league. For Martin Luther King Day, they will welcome in a Miami squad that's at the end of a four-game trip. The Heat's only win on this trip came in Chicago and today marks their third game in the last four days. Boston is in the same situation, but is at home and a better team. It's no accident that the Celtics are winning so much at home. The simply play better here, averaging 114.4 points while giving up just 103.8 points. Miami is the definition of average and just faced two very bad offensive teams. They'll have problems here trying to stop Kyrie Irving, who has averaged 30.5 points over the last four games and 35.0 in the last two. This is a revenge game for the Celtics, who lost by 11 down in Miami on an off-shooting night for Kyrie. Different story this time. Play on BOSTON
