The Scout: NBA Finals Game 3

Posted on October 4, 2020 | Posted by The Scout

Los Angeles Lakers vs Miami Heat

At 2-0 down, and with Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic again doubtful for Game 3, it would take a brave punter to be backing Miami to turn this series around, or even avoid being swept 4-0.

It was business as usual for LeBron and AD in Game 2 with the duo combining for 65 points as the Lakers were never really tested on their way to a 10 point win.

Miami were gallant in Game 2. Badly undermanned, they hung around for the duration of the match, and while they threatened at times to make it a close contest, you could argue that these moments were nothing more than a nuisance factor.

It would’ve been great to have seen Bam take on AD in these Finals, but without him the Heat have absolutely no answer for the LA big man, who shot a staggering 75% from the field in Game 2.

The writing looks to be on the wall here for the Heat. And while AD and LeBron battle it out for MVP honours, it’s hard to see what the matching motivation will be for Miami.

Suggested Bet: Los Angeles 11+ (Margin) @ $2.15*
