Celtics vs Heat: Tatum & Brown Return

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome to Boston Celtics News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Cory with the story. Boston Celtics rolling into Miami almost fully loaded for their clash with the heat on Wednesday night. Jason Tatum and Nehemiah's Cater are back after sitting out just one game each on the second night of a back-to-back. Jalen Brown is off the injury report, too. Fresh off missing two games with Achilles tendonitis. He played Monday but had a rough night against the hawks. Brown brushed it off as normal soreness, saying everyone's dealing with something this late in the season. Tatum's been steady since returning March 6th, missing only two games total and putting up around 21 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and a steal per game lately. He dropped 32 on the Hornet Sunday. Not completely healthy, though. The Celtics still missed Nicolavusovic, out 13 straight with a fractured ring finger from early March. Ron Harper Jr. is questionable with a fresh ankle sprained from Sunday.

1:01Boston's own Miami this year. Three wins to nothing, including a tight two-point victory back in February. Celtics sit at 50 wins, 25 losses, holding a two-game edge for second in the east. Heater 40 and 36, clinging to ninth place, three games back from sixth. They just beat Philly 119-109. Celtics looked to shake off that Monday loss to Atlanta and keep the road trip humming before hitting the Bucks Friday. Tips at 7.30 pm in Miami should be a good one.
