They will play harder than Game 2, that's for sure. The defense will be better and I think Coach Spo does have a card up in his sleeve to provide a higher winning chance. Risky Moneyline but it will be worth it if they claim the win.
Over 206.5 seems to be an easy score to reach.
Edit: Look out!

Kyle Lowry might play. I also saw his name in player props.
Great news for the Heat, and actually, as per this update, I think it's already confirmed.
Kyle Lowry is on track to make his return for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics
The line has not moved significantly yet, but it doesn't matter now, it's still a great news for the Heat, so let's see if Lowry could give a good minutes for the Heat who were badly beaten in game 2.
I think I will just wait until game time, just to make sure that he will play. I don't expect him to be a big threat on the offense but only on the defensive side and if he will bring the ball, that would help the heat to have a good ball rotation. No Butler all the time, everyone has to stepped up as that's the only way they can match the Celtics' offense.
True, I think his presence might be enough though, Gabe Vincent is good no question about it, but when we talk about experience and leadership, Kyle should be the one stepping up. Maybe limited minutes of him to be in the court, but I would say that it will help a lot to drive the offense for the Heat. I might go with the +6.5 for the Heat. Maybe the Celtics will win this game 3, but it's going to be close.
Congrats mate, big win by the Heat, though Butler did not return in the 2nd half, but they still manage the win. Kyle Lowry only made 11 points but his contribution on the defensive side is very appreciated, he had 4 steals in the game, that's super good already.
For those who are worried about Butler status, as per report, he is likely to play in game 4.

Thanks mate, I was wrong though, I thought that it will be Jimmy to carry the team but it was Bam Adebayo who did it for them. Kyle Lowry too as I have said will be a big influence and surely he did a lot and contribute with his assists and steals to help them get a 2-1 advantage Hopefully Butler and Tatum can get back in game 4 and make the game very exciting.
