Jimmy Buckets
We are in for a cracking series of basketball starting this Wednesday.
Two teams in red-hot form are set to lock horns in the Eastern Conference championship playoff.
The Boston Celtics were mighty impressive against the Milwaukee Bucks in their last series.
The same can be said for the Miami Heat who have stamped themselves as one of the favourites to win the chip.

NBA Series Betting Odds: Celtics $1.57 vs Heat $2.57
Boston's Jason Tatum led his side to a fantastic series win over the Bucks.
The young superstar was everywhere, both on offence and defence.
He has developed a sharp court sense in high-pressure games to be in the right positions in crucial moments.
If the Celtics are to win this series his contributions will go a long way to deciding if they are on their way to the championship game.
As for Miami, it is the Jimmy Butler show, flanked by the strongest bench in the whole competition.
It is really hard to find any flaws in this Miami team and the results speak for themselves.
They have flashy moments of brilliance from their stars but are also physically tough.
Very rarely do you see them getting blown out and they enjoy grinding teams into the ground.

Free NBA Expert Pick: Miami series win @ $2.57
Defence wins big games and I believe Miami are just too well rounded to give any real momentum to the Celtics.
They have impressed in the regular season and are now backing it up.
Looks like real value at $2.57 and worth a play at that price.
