Boston vs Miami on Saturday, April 27, is Game 3 of this best-of-seven NBA playoff series. Boston came into this postseason tournament as one of the favorites after finishing the regular season with an impressive record of 64-18. Bookmakers are tipping the Celtics (+120) as the favorites to win the 2023-24 NBA Championship and end their 14-year wait. They are already on course to do that after beating Miami Heat 114-94 in the first round of the playoffs, with the second tie to be played on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the top seed in the Eastern Conference may look to ensure this series ends by Game 4. This could be sweet revenge against Miami, who dumped them out of last year's competition. Miami will need to quickly find a solution to Tatum, Brown, Holiday, White, and Porzingis, who have an average of 11 points per 100 possessions. This All-Star group will be keen to ensure that Miami doesn't become a serious threat this time around.
