NBA Week 28: Thursday Match Predictions

Week 27 of the NBA 2019/2020 season was just great but it presented very little surprises. Miami Heat was able to beat the Milwaukee Bucks at Game 5 (4-1), where they won their 4th game, to send the Bucks home. They have qualified for the East Conference alongside Boston Celtics who defeated last year’s champion, the Toronto Raptors, at Game 7 (4-3).

Both teams would play on Thursday for Game 2 as they battle to see who would be the champion of the Eastern Conference. Already both teams have survived many rounds against some tough teams and are now paired against each other.

It’s a little hard to tell the way Thursday’s match might go. These are two resilient teams that show no sign of backing out for the other. This is a very crucial point of the tournament and both teams would fight as hard as they can to stay afloat.

The Celtics have been the better team of late, even though they lost their last fixture against the Miami team. But seeing how easy it took Heat to go through the Bucks, one can see that they have the fire with them this time. We would have to see how their first game on Tuesday turns out before we can know who the better team is and who is set to take the crown of the Eastern Conference.

Miami Heat have obviously been by far, the most dominant team in the 2020 NBA playoffs. They confidently dismantled the Indiana Pacers in 4 straight games, and went on to beat the mighty Bucks in just 5 games. Miami Heats also seem to have the best defense, as 2019 MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo could not find a way to breach through Miami’s defense. Heats star man, Jimmy Butler and his teammates showed the world why they should be regarded as strong championship favorites this year.

Although, they might not have many star players, the Miami Heat have been winning games because of their, team spirit work ethic and competitiveness.
