The Celtics need a Game 3 win or likely will face a deficit they cannot come back from. Jayson Tatum has been excellent this postseason, he is averaging 29 PPG and 11 RPG to lead the Celtics. Jaylen Brown has not been far behind in scoring, he is averaging 24 PPG. Boston would be smart to go back to their smaller lineup that was successful in the earlier rounds, starting Derrick White and creating mismatches for Tatum against slower forwards. The Celtics have the 2nd most efficient offense in the league and rank 3rd in defensive efficiency and was 25-16 on the road in the regular season, and have gone 4-2 on the road in the postseason. I expect a max effort from them here as they go and get a win and cover in Miami.
