Finally, let’s discuss why having Jimmy Butler should make the Heat the favorites in the series.

Butler has been nothing short of spectacular in these playoffs, but hardly anyone seems to be talking about it. He is averaging nearly 29 points and eight rebounds on over 50 percent shooting.
He has arguably been a top-three player this postseason, if not the best.
The Celtics have Tatum and Brown. Both have been terrific in the playoffs, especially Tatum, who dropped 46 on the defending champs.
