Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat Prop Bets - January 6

The Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat game features a line of Heat -3.5. This game goes off at 7:30 pm ET and will be shown on ESPN nationally.

ESPN.com notes "Boston's uneven start to the season continued this week, which included barely surviving being swept over the weekend in Detroit by the lowly Pistons".

The Celtics main injuries are to guards Kemba Walker (knee), Marcus Smart (thumb) and Jeff Teague (ankle). Smart's injury is considered the least serious of the three, and it is possible he could face the Heat.

"Marcus is the heart and soul of our team," Celtics teammate Jaylen Brown said. "His energy and his poise on offense are great for us. He gets me easy baskets."

On Monday night, in a 118-90 blowout of Oklahoma City, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra used his sixth different starting lineup in six games.

The most recent one clicked as Kelly Olynyk -- making his first start of the season -- finished with 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting from the field, including 5 of 7 on 3-pointers.

"It's a different flow when you start," Olynyk said. "You kind of let the game come to you. Nonetheless, you've got to play your role."
