Less than a week after Jayson Tatum's 51-point Game 7 triumph thrust the Boston Celtics into the 2023 Eastern Conference finals, Boston's season is suddenly on the brink.
Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat arrived in New England as massive underdogs earlier this week, but are headed back to South Florida with a stunning chance to win this series in four games. Entering the conference finals, the Heat had longer odds to win the NBA title (16-1) than they did when odds first opened last June (12-1), according to Caesars Sportsbook.
