The Celtics are one of a few NBA teams with a better record on the road than at home this season, but they have a chance to narrow that gap Wednesday when they host the red-hot Miami Heat.
Boston (56-19) is fresh off a 6-0 road trip that raised the team’s road record to 32-7. It marked the longest road trip without a loss in franchise history, topping a 5-0 stretch in February 1973.
After the Celtics’ 117-103 triumph over Memphis Monday night, Boston will enter Wednesday’s matchup on a nine-game win streak with victories in 14 of its last 15 games.
Miami (34-41) has regrouped since losing 10 straight in March and will attempt to extend a five-game winning streak.
The Heat beat Washington, 120-94, Monday without Andrew Wiggins (hamstring), Duncan Robinson (back), Kevin Love (personal reasons) and Davion Mitchell, who was a late scratch because of a stomach illness.
Wiggins, Robinson, and Love will all sit out Wednesday.
