Bam had a solid game in the last match, and with Jimmy Butler suffering from a knee injury, he’ll be needed to step up and dominate the game if Miami wants to go 3-1 up.
Tatum had a terrible outing in the last game, and he was one of the reasons why his team lost the game. He will look to bounce back strong and help his team to level up the series 2-2.
Boston needs to win this game otherwise they’ll go 3-1 down and coming back from that is very tough. As a result, we can see Boston at its best.
