Miami Heat @ Boston Celtics – 8:30PM ET
Tony Battalio
The Miami Heat come into this game one win away from advancing to the NBA finals. They currently have a three games to one lead over the Boston Celtics but they were unable to close out the series in game four and complete the sweep. Now they will be looking to get the job done in Boston here in game five on Thursday evening. Miami has played well throughout the playoffs and have gone all the way from the play-in round to being on the verge of making the finals. With the way their supporting cast is playing alongside Jimmy Butler they are the hottest team in the league at the moment.
The Boston Celtics finally grabbed a victory in this series on Tuesday night and now they will have to pick up another one to keep their season alive here at home on Thursday. Jayson Tatum finally stepped up to the plate and was consistent throughout the entire game. Now they will be looking to repeat that performance here in this game on Thursday night and keep their season alive and head back to Miami for a game six on Saturday night. That is not what I expect however, as I have the Miami Heat closing out the series in this one.
