KEY GAME INFORMATION

MIAMI: BACKCOURT: PG Goran Dragic has never played up to the level of his Phoenix days since he arrived in Miami, but that could change this year. His best skills are wasted in the halfcourt, and he should be free to run more now that Dwyane Wade is out of town. His backup, the once-unheralded PG Tyler Johnson, suddenly faces expectations after signing a big contract. SG Josh Richardson is injured to start the season, but Dion Waiters is a capable fill-in. . . . FRONTCOURT: Along with Richardson, SF Justise Winslow helped to form a dynamic rookie duo last season. He's already there on defense and showed more than enough promise on offense. C Hassan Whiteside can dominate games like no one else in the league, but he needs to be more consistent and perhaps even a leader on a team that lost Wade and Chris Bosh. . . . BOTTOM LINE: Almost everything about this team is unpredictable, from post-Wade style of play to Whiteside's attitude from night-to-night. They could possibly compete for the playoffs, but developing Winslow and Richardson is more important.

BOSTON: BACKCOURT: It's hard to believe PG Isaiah Thomas was once a bench player for this team, as he proved himself to be the lifeblood of the Celtics offense in making the All-Star team last year. In SG Avery Bradley and PG Marcus Smart, Boston has two of the best defending guards in the league. If Smart can learn to shoot as well as Bradley, his ceiling goes up considerably. Second-year PG Terry Rozier took strides over the summer and will see minutes this season. . . . FRONTCOURT: While Danny Ainge couldn't quite lure KD to Boston, C Al Horford is by no means a consolation prize. He fits perfectly in the offense and instantly becomes the team's best player. SF Jae Crowder is the perfect mentor for rookie SF Jaylen Brown, as both are gritty defenders with the ability to put the ball in the basket. People seem to have forgotten about PF Kelly Olynyk, who's become a better offensive player every season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: The Celtics added a four-time All-Star and an NBA-ready rookie to a team that won 48 games last season. Throughout his career, Brad Stevens has led his teams to overachieve. It will be interesting to see what that means for a Boston team that's now loaded with talent.

PREVIEW

Celtics could tie for East lead with win over Heat

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics won Saturday night and they didn't even play.

While Boston was getting ready for its Sunday night game against the rejuvenated Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost at home to the Washington Wizards. That left the Celtics just a half-game behind the defending champions for the Eastern Conference lead.

They can draw even with their fourth straight victory over the Heat on Sunday at TD Garden.

But this is a different Miami team than the one the Celtics faced earlier this season.

Back on Dec. 30, the third time the teams played, Isaiah Thomas scored 52 points and the Celtics posted a 117-114 victory over the Heat in Boston.

That loss dropped the woeful Heat to 10-24 and the world was feeling sorry for Erik Spoelstra's team.

But since then, the Heat have gone 25-13 and currently sit in the final playoff spot, just two games out of fifth place.

They have lost two of their last three but are 7-3 in their last 10 and 24-7 since sinking to a season-worst 11-30.

The Heat just went 3-2 on a five-game homestand, losing the finale to the Toronto Raptors, and now play the next three on the road.

The 1-2 record in the last three games came with starting guard Dion Waiters out with an ankle injury. Waiters had been on fire in the team's resurgence and his absence has been notable. Miami is 9-20 this season without him.

Waiters was progressing but still in a boot, and Hassan Whiteside was battling a hand laceration when he played Thursday. Whiteside also injured an ankle (he was walking without a limp at a Friday night public appearance, according to the Miami Herald).

On top of that, Goran Dragic, another leader of the Miami charge, was in a shooting slump, going 24 of 71 from the floor in his last four games and 5 of 18 from 3-point range.

"I need to get better first," Dragic said Thursday. "(Thursday) was not a good game for me. I'm not worried about (the shooting slump). I had some good open shots that I usually make and the bounce didn't want to go in.

"I'm not going to worry about that as long as my head is clear and I know my teammates trust me. So I'll be back.

"For me, personally, I am that kind of a guy who has a bad game and I'm always thinking too much."

The Celtics have won 13 of their last 14 homes games and taken five of their last six games overall. They are 3-0 in the first three games of a six-game homestand.

Boston also leads Washington by two games for the No. 2 spot.

The Celtics had 70 points dropped on them by Phoenix 20-year-old Devin Booker but cruised to a 130-120 victory over the Suns on Friday night.

"I wasn't really happy with the second half," said Al Horford, who had another strong game with the Celtics and has looked more like the real Al Horford the past six games. "I feel like we let our foot off the pedal a little bit there for whatever reason and just kind of kept them around.

"I know that they never got past a certain point, but we just kept them around. It was tough. I wish we handled our business a little bit better, but the good thing is at least we were able to hold them off and got the win."

Thomas scored 25 and 23 points and totaled 14 assists in the first two wins over Miami but was 4 of 21 from 3-point range in the games. He then went 9 of 13 in a 52-point performance with zero assists.

Thomas scored a club-record 29 points in the fourth quarter of the game, coach Brad Stevens saying, "It's remarkable. That was an unbelievably willful performance -- and we needed it."
