LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS MIAMI HEAT CASH BET WAGERING ANALYSIS
Even with the depleted roster, the Miami Heat posted a better challenge in Game 2 as compared to Game 1. But with Bam Adebayo still doubtful to return and Goran Dragic is out for the remainder of the series, the Los Angeles Lakers are poised to take Game 3. The Heat will be throwing their mightiest punches but the Lakers are just to tough for them to handle and will just take whatever they put out.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS HAS THE UPPER HAND
Looking at Game 2, the Los Angeles Lakers controlled the match from end-to-end. Anthony Davis shot more than 90% and was 14-of-15 entering the fourth quarter and when he started missing, LeBron James just took over and provided the kill. Rajon Rondo was fantastic with a double-double performance and he showed his veteran leadership by control the floor whenever James sits down. Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had an off shooting night but other players stepped up to fill in the needed three-point shooting edge. Dwight Howard had a good start in the first quarter to give the Lakers the necessary push. Too many weapons to throw against Miami.
MIAMI HEAT GOING FOR BROKE
This is now or never for the Miami Heat and the odds for them climbing back from an 0-3 lead is close to impossible in the NBA stage. Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro were the players that played more than 43 minutes each but it is not enough to dent the Lakers’ armor in Game 2. Kelly Olynyk provided the team with 24 points and nine rebounds to fill in Bam Adebayo’s production but he was a liability in defense. Jae Crowder and Kendrick Nunn tried to provide the extra firepower but they can only do so much. Meyers Leonard started in the game but was pulled out by Coach Erik Spolestra after seeing him struggle to defend Howard and Davis.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS MIAMI HEAT HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH SPREAD
The Miami Heat just don’t have enough bodies to throw against LeBron James and Anthony Davis. They preferred not to double-team the Lakers’ duo and paid a great price. With the Lakers. This should be another victory for the Lakers but expect that Miami will be throwing everything including the kitchen sink. The spread is at 10 points but would like to consider that this Lakers lead will be lower than that.
LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS MIAMI HEAT CASHBET FREE PICK
Sportsbook sees that this is an easy bet on the Los Angeles Lakers taking the win since they have no injuries on the roster and the Miami Heat has no answer to both Anthony Davis and LeBron James. It is a pick-your-poison scenario and this looks like James’ easiest road to the NBA championship in ten attempts in the NBA Finals.
