The Boston Celtics are hosting the Miami Heat for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday evening in Massachusetts, but for the game they could be without one of their best players.

2022 Defensive Player of The Year Marcus Smart is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury.

Smart is one of their most important players, because he is a veteran and does it all on both defense and offense.

The Celtics currently have a 3-2 lead in the series, so they can actually advance to the NBA Finals with a win on Friday at home.

The Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals on Thursday evening, so the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals will face off with Steph Curry and the Warriros for the title.

The Celtics lost to the Heat in the 2020 Conference Finals, and the Heat then moved on to the NBA Finals where they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

SHOULD THE BUCKS MAKE A TRADE? On Sunday afternoon, the Milwaukee Bucks lost Game 7 to the Boston Celtics, which officially ends their 2021-22 NBA season in the second-round. Last season, they won the NBA Championship, and they will now enter an offseason where they can look to improve the roster to get back to the NBA Finals. CLICK HERE.
