Boston beat Miami in seven games last May en route to the NBA Finals. This will mark the third time in the last four years that the teams have met in the Eastern Conference Finals, with the Heat besting the Celtics in the Orlando bubble back in 2020.
The eight-seeded Heat have been on a roll since the calendar flipped to the postseason. After taking down Giannis Antetokounmpo and the top-seeded Bucks in the first round, Miami defeated the New York Knicks in six games during the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Celtics went 2-2 against the Heat during the 2022-23 season.
