The Miami Heat have the best odds to win the NBA championship at 3/2, and they could get one step closer by beating the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of their series on Wednesday.

Miami grabbed a 3-1 series lead with a 98-90 overtime victory on Monday. The Heat looked completely lifeless in their Game 3 loss, but it was a different story in Game 4.

In Game 3, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh arguably had their worst combined game since joining forces. The trio managed just 44 points and 18 rebounds in total, well below their playoff averaged of 67.2 combined points and 26.4 combined rebounds. The Big Three more than made up for it on Monday, racking up 83 total points and 35 total rebounds. No other Miami player scored more than four points, but they didn't have to.

With Boston on the cusp of elimination, Miami could see its NBA championship odds improve even more if Udonis Haslem can round into form. Haslem had been out since November after undergoing foot surgery, but he suited up and played three minutes in Game 4. His impact was minimal, but Haslem averaged 8.0 points and 8.2 rebounds before going down with the injury. He’d give Miami another role player and some nice size to face a team like Chicago.

Boston, meanwhile, is probably due to turn the page and start rebuilding. The Celtics looked old and sluggish on Monday, particularly Kevin Garnett. Garnett destroyed Miami with 28 points and 18 rebounds in Game 3 but, instead of working down low again, he hung to the fringes. The veteran went 1-for-10 with just seven points.
