The Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers will square off in Game 2 of the NBA Finals in the bubble from Orlando, Florida. The Lakers cruised to a 116-98 win over the Heat in Game 1, leading by 30 points at one point. Anthony Davis dropped 34 points in his first-ever Finals game while LeBron James nearly grabbed a triple-double with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists.
The Heat took a couple blows to their squad as both Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo had to leave the game due to injuries, and are both listed as doubtful ahead of Game 2.

The Best Bet: Lakers -9.5
Potentially losing the scoring prowess of both Dragic and Adebayo could really hurt the Heat’s chances at beating an already-superior Lakers team in Game 2. If Miami’s defense still can’t hold LeBron and Davis at bay, you can expect them both to do similar damage in Game 2 as they showed they’re capable of in Game 1. Players like Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro will have to make up for any absences and really carry this Miami team if they have any hopes of evening the series.
