NBA Series Odds 5/4: Heat (-115) Slightly Favored Over Knicks

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Jimmy Butler plans to play in Game 3. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Spoelstra says Jimmy Butler worked today. Says update at about 2:15 Saturday. “But we know what his intentions are.” According to an NBA source, Butler is planning to play.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters that Butler did some work today but could not provide further information. An official update is scheduled for tomorrow at 2:15 p.m.
Spoelstra added, &#8220;But we know what his intentions are," signaling that Butler will do whatever it takes to be out there.
Butler sprained his right ankle in Game 1 and had to sit Game 2 despite being a game-time decision. Luckily, the Heat have not played since Tuesday, allowing Butler more time to heal.
Caleb Martin can play in Game 3 after crashing into the bench late in Game 2, according to Winderman. He would get the start in Butler&#8217;s place.
With the series against the Knicks tied, the Heat are -4 favorites in Game 3 on the <a href="https://account.sportsbook.fanduel.com/join/select-state">FanDuel Sportsbook</a>, further signaling hope that Butler will play. Miami is slightly favored over the Knicks to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals at -116.
