Heading into tonight’s game in Boston, the Celtics hold a 3-1 series lead. Although the Heat stole game 2 on the road, they lost both of their ensuing home games. The Celtics dominated the two games in Miami and won both of them by double digits. The Heat will have to dig deep and pull off a miracle if they want to keep their season alive after tonight’s matchup.

The Heat lost their star player Jimmy Butler to an injury during the SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament. This injury significantly lowered the Heat’s chances of winning this series, and the odds were not in their favor to begin with. However, the Heat have showed that they can win on the road without Butler. The key to their game 2 victory was scoring 111 points, which is the only time they surpassed 94 points in this series. Meanwhile, the Celtics have scored at least 101 points in all four games. So, the Heat will need to keep up with the Celtics offense to have any chance of winning tonight’s matchup.

Kristaps Porziņģis is a key factor for the Celtics offense, and he will miss some games with a calf injury that he sustained in game 4. So, the Heat might have an easier time keeping up with the Celtics tonight. However, there are still plenty of players that can carry the Celtics offense: Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Derrick White. All three of these players are averaging at least 21 points per game in this series, and White just had a 38 point performance in game 4.

It will be up to Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro to lead the Heat’s offense in Boston tonight, and fans can watch the entire game live by using DirecTV Stream’s free trial. For anyone that has already used the free trial offer, Sling is an affordable streaming service that currently provides a 50% discount for the first month of service. Both of these livestreaming platforms will allow sports fans to watch the rest of the NBA and NHL playoffs.
