The Los Angeles Lakers look to move the NBA Finals to a 2-0 advantage over the Miami Heat on Friday.
In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, we saw utter dominance displayed by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers just seemed to overwhelm Miami both offensively and defensively.
Both Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo are out tonight, this will lead to more minutes for a few Heat players. We can expect a pretty significant bump in usage and minutes out of Tyler Herro. There’s an interesting player prop that we can target with him tonight.
Dragic led the Heat in shot attempts before being ruled out tonight, I anticipate Herro eating up lots of those looks. Herro shot 8 three’s last game and might attempt another 8 to 10 tonight.
Tyler Herro’s line is set at 2.5 three-pointers made, given the increase in attempts tonight I believe he should hit this number a high percentage of the time. All bettors should lock in Tyler Herro Over 2.5 3’s made at +105 as one of my favorite bets tonight.
Now, taking a look at the Lakers side yesterday, my best bet cashed with ease in the first half as Danny Green went over 1.5 3’s. This line stays relatively the same again tonight.
Danny Green attempted a total of 8 three-pointers with most of them being wide open. I see him hitting a minimum of 2 3’s again tonight. Danny Green over 1.5 3’s made at -125 is my second bet of the night.
Lastly, taking into account that Bam is out tonight, I anticipate the lane being open more and the pace of the game speeding up. I just can’t see Miami’s defense being competitive tonight, LeBron and Davis should feast in the paint leading to the lakers scoring at will.
I think we can see a very high scoring game out of the Lakers. They should be able to break the defense down by forcing double teams and finding open shooters along the perimeter. As my final bet of the night, I’m locking in the Lakers team total over 113.5 -110.
