List of Refs for Heat vs Celtics Game 7 Tonight (Scott Foster Leading Officiating Crew)

Monday's NBA Playoffs slate features Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics. With a trip to the NBA Finals on the line, fans from both sides are hoping for a fairly officiated game tonight.

Here's everything you need to know about the refs for Game 7 of Heat-Celtics.

Heat vs Celtics Game 7 Referees

The three officials assigned to work Monday's matchup between the Heat and Celtics are Scott Foster (#48, crew chief), Tony Brothers (#25, referee), and John Goble (#10, umpire). Kevin Scott (#24) will be the emergency alternate in case a last-minute replacement is needed.

Curtis Blair, meanwhile, will be in the Secaucus-based Replay Center for today's playoff game.

Looking at Foster's postseason track record, he tends to favor one team over the other by a bit. The home team is 8-5 in his 13 playoff games as a crew chief while calling an average of 2.7 more fouls on the road team. The average point total for those games is 217.4, which is considerably higher than the projected total of 203.5 points for tonight's game on FanDuel Sportsbook's NBA odds.

Here's a breakdown of the betting stats from games Foster has officiated this season

Brothers and Goble bring some postseason experience to the table as well with each man having reffed at least 10 games in the 2022-23 playoffs. Guthrie tends to award an average of two more free throws to the road team while his 11 games have seen an average of just 221.3 points scored. Meanwhile, the home team has won seven of the 10 games that Goble has been on the floor for this postseason.

Accordingly, we could see a high-scoring Celtics win tonight based on the officiating crew.
