2025-26 NBA Regular Season
Boston Celtics v Miami Heat
TD Garden
Boston, Massachusetts
Saturday 7 February 2026
Tip-off at 02:30
Boston Celtics will be targeting more of the same when they host Miami Heat at the TD Garden on the morning of Saturday, February 7.
The Celtics have already faced the Heat twice this season, winning both games. A comfortable 129-116 victory in December was followed by a much narrower 119-114 triumph in January.
Joe Mazzulla's team are third in the Eastern Conference standings with a record of 31-18, identical to the New Knicks but below them on points scored.
Boston beat Milwaukee Bucks 107-79 on February 1 to make it seven wins from their last 10 games, with Jaylen Brown playing a starring role after scoring 30 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.

Mazzulla praised Brown's work on the glass and emphasised the importance of offensive rebounds to keep the momentum in their favour.
"He had nine rebounds in the first half alone... that's how he impacts winning. Another way he leads is understanding what gives us the best chance to win every night," Mazzulla said.
"You have to capitalise on misses... it helps transition defense, helps keep them off the free-throw line. That was big tonight."
Miami are just outside the automatic playoff berths in the East after improving their record to 27-24 after winning six of their last 10 games.
Erik Spoelstra's team came out on top against Chicago Bulls for the second time in the space of four days with a 134-91 rout on February 2, having lost to them by a score of 125-118 24 hours earlier.

Much of the recent talk has centred around Kel'el Ware and his lack of minutes, but Spoelstra addressed the situation after the second-year center posted 17 points and six rebounds in the most recent victory over the Bulls.
"Since one of you guys will probably ask about Kel'el," Spoelstra remarked. "Kel'el gave us really solid minutes tonight. I was encouraged by his defensive activity.
"He's part of that young-gun crew, as well. And offensively he moved the ball when he needed to, he gave us the vertical spacing when he needed to. He shot the 3 when he needed to. So those things I think we can build on."
