The Heat have a 2-1 lead in the series after winning Game 3 by a score of 105-86 on Saturday afternoon (in Miami). 

With a victory in Game 4, the Heat can take a commanding 3-1 lead. 

That said, the Knicks can tie up the series at 2-2 with Game 5 back on their home floor at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday evening. 

Butler is in his fourth season playing for the Heat and has led them to the NBA Playoffs in all four seasons. 

They have been to the Eastern Conference Finals in two of the previous three seasons (and made the NBA Finals in 2020).

At home, the Heat have been fantastic this season, going 30-14 in the 44 games they have hosted in Miami (3-0 in the playoffs). 

In the first round, they upset Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks (who were the first seed) in five games. 

Prior to joining the Heat, Butler also had stints with the Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Chicago Bulls. 

The 33-year-old is in his 12th season in the NBA.
