The NBA bubble has been a huge success. It seems like yesterday that the top basketball teams in the Association began play in a familiar, yet different atmosphere.
Tonight, after weeks of bubble basketball, the NBA crown is ready to be handed out if the Los Angeles Lakers can defeat the Miami Heat one more time. Up 3-1, the Lakers are a victory away from ending the 2020 season as champions.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: October 9th, 1:30 P.M. (EST)
Online bookmaker William Hill has the Heat at +270 on the Money Line.
Miami has taken down some top teams to reach this point but may have bitten off more than they can chew. The defeat of the Bucks and Celtics put the Heat on everyone’s radar, but the Lakers are a monster that has dominated their way into a position to win yet another NBA championship.It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Lakers are favorites entering this game. While the Heat made this a series with a game 3 victory, Los Angeles has had no trouble creating a lead and maintaining it to victory. Unless we see another similar performance from Miami in game 3, the Lakers will be crowned champions tonight.Of course, anything can happen and Miami has many game-changers that could give them a second life. Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro have impressed in the postseason, but those two have not compared to the Lakers’ monsters of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
With their backs against the wall, Miami looks to keep their dreams of a title alive tonight. While the odds are not in Miami’s favor, anything can happen with the talent displayed from both sides.
