The NBA Playoffs are coming down to crunch time, with the Eastern Conference finals winding down and one team on the brink of elimination.
In tonight’s featured game on ESPN, the Miami Heat look to bounce back from an embarrassing performance in Game 5 and avoid elimination when they travel to the TD Garden to take on the Boston Celtics.
With a win, Boston would punch its ticket to the NBA Finals where they would face the Golden State Warriors, while a Heat win forces a do-or-die Game 7.
Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
Entering Friday night’s game, the Celtics are strong 8.5-point favorites over the visiting Heat with the over/under set for just 201 total points.
