Scouting report: Heat at Celtics

TONIGHT - 8, TD Garden. TV - ESPN. Radio - WEEI-AM (850).

THE NUMBERS 2-0: Celtics [team stats] record against the Heat this season.

2-4: Celtics record in their last six home games.

WHO’S HURT For the Celtics, G Marquis Daniels (left thumb surgery) and F Paul Pierce [stats] (left foot) are out. The Heat did not disclose statuses for G Mario Chalmers (sprained left thumb) and F Jermaine O’Neal (back spasms).

WHO’S HOT For the Celtics, F Kevin Garnett made eight of his nine shots against Washington for a team-high 19 points in Monday’s victory.

WHO’S NOT Miami G Dwyane Wade is 1-for-11 on 3-pointers in the last two games.

BOTTOM LINE Miami is coming off two straight losses to the Bucks in which it averaged just 82.5 points. The Celtics will need to keep up the defensive pressure and make sure none of Wade’s friends get on a roll.
