The Heat enter the matchup with a 1-0 record after beating the Detroit Pistons by a score of 103-102 at home on Wednesday. 

Bam Adebayo had 22 points and eight rebounds, and five total players scored in double-digits. 

Last year, the Heat were the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, but they reached the NBA Finals for the second time in four seasons. 

However, they lost to the Denver Nuggets in five games. 

Joe Mazzulla says the beauty of Opening Night at TD Garden is that our new players think they know what it's like playing inside this building from their trips as visitors, but they have no idea how great it's going to be playing here as a member of the Celtics.
