Players to Watch out for Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics

Jimmy Butler – Miami

Jimmy has arguably been the best player in the playoffs so far, and he showed that in both the games of the series. He would love to inspire to a road win in Boston to take the advantage away from Boston.

Jayson Tatum – Boston

Tatum did his job in the second game, as Boston was able to snatch a road win and level up the series. He will look to build on that and help his team get the win.
