Miami Heat Form
Miami hold a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals after their ninth win in their last 13 games.
The Heat needed two cracks at the Play-In Tournament to make it to the postseason, but they got the job done and have been on a tear since then.
They sent #1 Milwaukee packing in sensational fashion in the first round, winning twice on the road in a 4-1 series success against the Bucks.
Miami then started the Eastern Conference semi-finals series with a 108-101 victory in New York, laying the foundations for another success.
The Heat booked their place in the conference finals in Game 6, sealing a 4-2 series win with a 96-92 victory at home.
They then followed up that with a 123-116 victory in Boston in the opening game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Eastern Conference semi-finals series with Philadelphia was even more closely-contested, with all seven games needed to determine a winner.
Boston made a rough start as they lost 119-115, only to bounce back and take the next two games, 121-87 and 114-102.
The Celtics lost the next two meetings though, leaving them on the bubble, but they responded with 95-86 and 112-88 wins over the 76ers to advance.
They failed to make it three-in-a-row on Wednesday though, losing 123-116 at home to Miami in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
