The Los Angeles Lakers could win you some money in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The Los Angeles Lakers will face off tonight against a Miami Heat squad with newfound hope. The Miami Heat had great success in limiting Anthony Davis to only 15 points in game 3.
The thing that stuck out to me the most on Game 3’s stat sheet was Davis only attempting 9 shots. The Heat are committed to double-teaming Davis almost every time he touches the ball. They have focused their attention solely on stopping AD and forcing others to beat them.
Tonight I believe is the most important game of the series, and LeBron James knows he has to come out and perform. If the Lakers can pull out a win tonight they will put the Heat away for good.
LeBron James and the Lakers have coasted through the entire playoffs without any real threats. We haven’t seen him forced to carry the whole load like we have seen in previous years with Cleveland.
There was no need for him to attack every possession and score when he could defer to Davis and others to get the job done.
Tonight however this will all change. If the Lakers are going to win tonight its gonna have to happen with James carrying the scoring load.
The attention the Heat are giving Davis will limit his game offensively, he will continue to draw double teams and be forced to defer to others.
I anticipate a historic performance from LeBron James tonight.
I won’t say he will have a flashback performance because he has proved time and time again why he is so dominant. I will just say this, LeBron James will show everyone that watches the game tonight, all the fans, media, and the whole world tuning in, why he is the best player in the world.
I believe we will see him as aggressive as he’s ever been all year, and when it’s all over, this game will be remembered and go down as one of LeBron James’s greatest all-time playoff performances.
The line on LeBron James points is currently 28.5 and I will definitely be locking in LeBron James over 28.5 -110 as my best bet.
I will also be locking in Anthony Davis under 30.5 points -110 as my second prop of the night. I don’t see a way he gets 30 with the Heat looking to double every time he touches the ball.
I predict LeBron will finish with a stat line of 37 11 and 9 and the Lakers win 117-107.
