After a back-and-forth series that saw both teams at their best — and at their worst — it all comes down to this: the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat meet tonight in Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals, with the winner booking a date with the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Miami was pushed to the brink Friday night, facing elimination against a feisty Boston squad that was looking to return to the NBA finals for the first time since 2010. But led by Jimmy Butler’s whopping 47 points (to go along with nine rebounds and four steals), the Heat came alive in Game 6, taking down the Celtics by a score of 111-103.

That forces a deciding Game 7, with a trip to the NBA championships on the line. Here’s how to get tickets to watch the Heat vs. Celtics in Miami and how to stream Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals online.

Heat vs. Celtics Game 7 Odds

After a closely-match series, it all comes down to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals. Oddsmakers have the Celtics as favorites to win Game 7, though you’ve seen Miami come from behind before and you can’t count this team out.

Miami is led by a red-hot Jimmy Butler, who dropped 47 points Friday night and is leading his team with almost 20 points a game in the series.

Boston’s Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, meantime, have given the Celtics a big one-two punch when it comes to offense — both players are averaging well over 20 points a game in the series.

The Heat last appeared in the NBA finals in 2020 and will be looking for their sixth conference title, while the Celtics are looking to return to the finals for the first time since 2010. If they beat the Heat, it will be Boston’s 10th conference championship.

Whoever wins between the Heat vs. Celtics will go on to face the resurgent Golden State Warriors, who are back in the NBA Finals for the sixth time in eight years.
