Anything can happen in 2020 and the NBA Finals are another example of this.
The Miami Heat entered the 2020 NBA playoffs as the number 5 seed. En route to the NBA Finals, they dropped some contenders. Opening the playoffs against Indiana, the Heat showed no remorse for the Pacers, winning in 4 games. The Heat would then go on to take down Milwaukee and Boston in consecutive series to reach the NBA Finals.

Online bookmaker 10Bet has the Lakers at -360 to win the Series.
Tomorrow, the journey towards the Larry O’Brien continues as the Miami Heat battle the Los Angeles Lakers.
Los Angeles has shown signs of wear and tear in this postseason, but they have managed to keep every series to 5 games. This has done wonders with resting stars, especially ones like Anthony Davis, who is currently battling an ankle injury.
Los Angeles are the favorites and are the easy choice to win this series, but the Heat have been slaying giants this postseason. Currently on a Cinderella run, Miami can cap off an extraordinary playoff with a championship.
What’s interesting is that someone is walking away with a championship at the expense of their former team. LeBron James formerly played for the Miami Heat, winning his first ring with the team. As for the legendary Pat Riley, he is a former player and coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and current president of the Miami Heat.
Los Angeles won the season series 2-0, but I think we can all agree that this series is under different circumstances. Inside the bubble, anything can happen and the Heat prove that on a nightly basis.
Los Angeles is expected to walk away NBA Champions, but this wouldn’t be the first upset Miami caused in the 2020 playoffs.
