Miami Heat gets the rest advantage on the days-since row (3 vs 2), and it registers most when other workload lines match. Boston Celtics comes in off the tougher previous matchup (62 vs 49.1), so the standard for translating that performance is higher.
On games in the last 7 days (3 vs 3), it is level, so density is a lighter factor. Boston Celtics has logged more immediate movement since the last game (1604.1 vs 1257.4), and that toll often shows as a slow start or thin third quarter. Boston Celtics leads the last-7 mileage line (4757.34 vs 0), and that overall travel burden plays bigger when rest is shorter.

|---|---|---|
| Days since last game | 3 | 2 |
| Rest advantage vs opponent | 1 | -1 |
| Travel miles since last game | 1257.4 | 1604.1 |

Heat at Celtics Usage% Leaders: Top 3 Players Per Team

- Game script (pace): Expect Miami Heat to press pace where it can, while Boston Celtics tries to steady the game into longer trips. That initial tempo picture often follows the total outcome.
- Efficiency edge (side): The overall profile tilts toward Boston Celtics if it keeps possessions tidier and avoids live-ball mistakes. A couple added trips can turn the result. The plainest way for Boston Celtics to separate is to keep possessions by cutting giveaways.
- Late filters (availability + market): Treat late availability as the last screen, because role changes can shift shot quality and late-game defense. If the number moves, use it as a cue to confirm rather than pushing the original lean.
