The Miami Heat have had an incredible run during these NBA playoffs, which could result in a trip to the NBA finals and possibly even an NBA title once it’s all said and done.
Star forward Jimmy Butler has been remarkable during this unprecedented run by the Heat, as he has been arguably the best player in the postseason thus far, next to two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić of the Denver Nuggets.
On Tuesday night, Miami is sporting a 3–0 series lead against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and has a chance to advance to the NBA Finals with a win on their home floor in South Beach.
If the Heat advance on Tuesday, Miami will become the biggest underdog ever to reach the NBA finals, according to NBA on ESPN.

Add this point, all signs point to Butler and company advancing to the NBA Finals, as it seems as though the Celtics have given up during this Eastern Conference Finals series following an ugly loss in Game 3 in Miami.
The Heat seem to be the better all-around team and are determined to defy the odds in the same fashion that they have throughout the entire NBA playoffs thus far.
If Miami does ultimately advance to the Finals on Tuesday or at some point during this series with the Celtics, a rested Nuggets team will be waiting after Jokic and his squad made easy work of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
Although it won’t be the star-studded matchup between storied franchises that everyone was hoping for, the Nuggets and Heat would be must-see TV for NBA fans, with two of the league’s best teams going head-to-head for the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
