Scott Foster is the head official for Game 7 of the Heat-Celtics series on Monday night, which is bad news for the Heat.

The Heat are 2-13 straight up and 3-12 against the spread since 2021 when Foster is the crew chief. On the other side, the Celtics are 11-3 against the spread since 2020.

On the other side, the Celtics are 11-3 ATS in the playoffs since 2020 with Foster as the Crew Chief.

The Celtics forced Game 7 on Saturday night thanks to Derrick White’s buzzer-beater as time expired. White was able to get the shot off with a tenth of a second left in the game to send the series back to TD Garden.

Had the shot not gotten off in time, the Celtics would’ve been eliminated and we would be looking at a Heat-Nuggets NBA Finals.

The Celtics are trying to become the first team in NBA history to come back from 0-3 down in a series.

Let’s see if the Heat can overcome a bad record with Foster as the crew chief to not be the first team to blow a 3-0 series lead.

Tip-off for Game 7 will be at 8:30 p.m. ET.
