The Heat star is going through a great moment leading the team with 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The Miami forward is a fundamental part of what the team can do and his level, added to the ability of other figures, will be of vital importance to see if they are capable of keeping the NBA title. Butler has gotten more and more experience and now he needs to prove it and lead this team to another NBA Finals. Miami is one of the great candidates to win the Eastern Conference title and fight for the NBA title.
Those from Miami arrive after a defeat against the Phoenix Suns by a score of 90 to 111. The team has recovered part of what was seen in the 2019-2020 season where they stayed with the NBA runner-up, the incorporation of Kyle Lowry brought a better offensive generation to the team. Lowry was the missing piece for the Heat and so, with the talent of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Hero and Duncan Robinson, the team is showing a great level and is already in first place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 44 wins and 23 losses. At the moment, the biggest concern is the injuries of Victor Oladipo and Markieff Morris, who are important players for the team, but their other figures have gotten the result in the games and continue to fight at the top of the conference.
The Cavs point guard is having a breakout season leading the team with 21.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game. After the release of Collin Sexton at the beginning of the season, Garland was expected to come off the bench sharing minutes with the experienced Ricky Rubio, however, this situation did not happen and Ricky Rubio has served as a mentor to Darius Garland. Now, with the recent absence for the rest of the season, Garland is running to be the team's starting point guard and, with the addition of Rajon Rondo, it is expected that he will continue to grow and learn from the best. The point guard's great season did not go unnoticed by the NBA and he was included in the All-Star Game.
The Cleveland Cavaliers arrive after having a revelation season, the team was not one of the favorites to be placed in playoff positions and, nevertheless, they are achieving it. They are currently in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, just five wins behind the Miami Heat. With a record of 38 wins and 27 losses, the Cleveland team should start to show that they are a postseason team and win the important matchups against teams that are in playoff positions. The great young generation of Cleveland has managed to clear all doubts and have become outstanding players in the league, even taking 2 players to the All-Star Game such as Darius Garland or Jarrett Allen. The Cavs arrive after a victory against Indiana by a score of 127-124.
