Miami’s starters had a very bad game in game 4, and Jimmy Butler who has been one of the best players in these playoffs will look to have a strong bounce-back game.
Jayson Tatum proved why he is a top 10 player in the world during the last game, and he will hope to continue that and get a huge road win for his team.
This game can go either way, but since Miami is playing at home, they’ll have a slight advantage over the Celtics in this one.
