Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have continued their winning ways following their 2023-24 NBA Finals run. On Monday, the Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 108-89 despite missing two starters and jumped to 17-4 on the season, good for second in the Eastern Conference behind the Cleveland Cavaliers .

Jaylen Brown led all scorers with 29 points and also had seven rebounds as the Boston Celtics beat the visiting Miami Heat 108-89 on Monday night.

The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 115-111 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Sunday. Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell scored 35 points, with 20 points coming in the fourth quarter.

He finished with 15 points, eight rebounds, and five assists on 33.3 percent shooting and 25 percent from three-point range. Not only is his three-point shooting abysmal up to this point, but he has regressed in his mid-range shots and in the paint.

As the Miami Heat lost to the Boston Celtics Monday night, they look to break their current two-game losing streak Wednesday as they face the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Heat missed star Jimmy Butler in the defeat as he gets the latest injury update provided by the team itself for the upcoming outing.

While the Heat are a notch below their usual level of play, they are still a dangerous club the Celtics need to take seriously if they want to win.
