Last week, it seemed the second-round series between the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets would wrap up pretty quickly. Instead, in a stunning turn of events, we’ve got ourselves another Game 7 in the bubble. Late on Tuesday night, the Clippers and Nuggets will meet with a trip to the Western Conference finals on the line.
The Clippers jumped out to a 3-1 lead in this series without too much trouble, and have had double-digit advantages in Games 5 and 6. But so far, they haven’t been able to put the Nuggets away. Now, they’re all of a sudden facing a must-win Game 7 to keep their season and title aspirations alive.
Denver, meanwhile, has showed incredible resilience to continue fighting against such steep odds. After coming back from a 3-1 deficit against the Jazz in the first round, the Nuggets are one win away from pulling off the feat for the second time in the span of a few weeks.
One x-factor for the Celtics is the potential return of veteran forward Gordon Hayward, who sprained his ankle in Game 1 of the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers and hasn’t played since. Getting Hayward backs would give Boston another versatile scorer, a quality outside shooter and a primary ball-handler who can start or come off the bench.
Here are the latest betting lines and prop bets for the Celtics vs. Heat series and the playoffs as a whole.Jimmy Butler was four bounces away from the conference finals last year, and when he left the Philadelphia 76ers for the Miami Heat, few thought he’d get that close anytime soon. One popular take was that winning was less important to him than being the go-to guy.
Before the season started, though, Butler told Andrew Sharp, then of Sports Illustrated, that he believed in his new team. “Truthfully,” he said, “I think we can compete for a championship. I do.” He acknowledged that the stars would need to align, but insisted that “nobody on this roster is scared of anybody.”
At the time, it was easy to dismiss this as typical Butler bluster. The same was true when, before, the playoffs started, he told ESPN’s Rachel Nichols that he thought the Heat could win a title and he didn’t care what anybody said.
Butler is now in the conference finals for the first time in his career, and Miami is there for the first time since LeBron James left. Their opponents, the Boston Celtics, are overwhelming favorites, but Butler and the Heat are surely comfortable with that. Here are our writers’ picks:
