Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics will take place at Kaseya Center. With a series lead of 3-2, the Heat have missed two opportunities to close out the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics. However, the Celtics have shown a significant transformation since their devastating loss in Game 3. They have made adjustments on both ends of the court, causing trouble for the somewhat inexperienced Miami team. Despite this, the Heat still hold the advantage and are just one game away from securing a remarkable NBA Finals matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Nevertheless, one should never underestimate the resilience of the Celtics, who have displayed newfound determination in the last two games. Although the Celtics are still in a challenging position, it is evident that they are in a better state compared to a week ago. Key players to watch for Boston include Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, while Miami’s Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are expected to have significant roles. In Game 5, Derrick White led the Celtics with 24 points, three rebounds, and two steals in 37 minutes, followed by Marcus Smart with 23 points, three rebounds, two assists, and five steals. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown contributed 21 points each. The Celtics had a 50.6 percent shooting accuracy from the field, including 16-of-39 from beyond the arc. On the other side, Duncan Robinson led the Heat off the bench with 18 points, four rebounds, and nine assists in 28 minutes. Bam Adebayo had 16 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block, while Jimmy Butler recorded 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, and two steals. The Heat shot 51.3 percent from the field, with 9-of-23 from three-point range. Gabe Vincent of the Heat is listed as questionable for Game 6 due to an ankle injury, while Tyler Herro (hand) and Victor Oladipo (knee) will not be playing. For the Celtics, Danilo Gallinari (knee) and Malcolm Brogdon (arm) are game-time decisions.
