NBA Free Picks And Predictions: NBA Finals - Game 4

The Heat clawed one back in game 3, with a confident performance that saw that game finish 115-104. Game 4 is pivotal for both sides. A win would likely tie up the series for the Lakers, while a win for the underdogs would really open things up for the final 3 games.

The Lakers took game 1 and game 2 without too much trouble. The Heat is without Bam Adebayo in their last game, as well as the Slovenian vet Goran Dragic due to a foot injury.

Tip-off is slated for 9 pm ET at the Orlando NBA bubble. The Laker will go into this one the favourites, but the momentum is with the Heat right now. Let’s see how things might play out.

Los Angeles Lakers (1.32) vs Miami Heat (3.55)

The NBA betting odds heavily favour the Lakers, as they have been fairly dominant in the two games they won. While they conceded the last, LeBron was still playing well and it was poor performances for certain other members of the team that cost them.

The Heat have looked excellent in the postseason, arguably one of the best teams. Jimmy Butler has looked like a man possessed and the two injured players, Adebayo and Dragic have also been excellent.

The two aforementioned injures will be costly for the Heat if they are to turn their NBA playoff performances into a Larry O’Brien trophy for the first time since 2013.

Pick the Lakers to win outright.

Take the over on total points 218.5 (1.91)

The value for us is in a moneyline bet on the Lakers, as we feel with the injuries Miami has sustained, it’ll be a real task to win this one. However, there is value covering the spread.

The NBA Finals have shown us that what the bookmakers expect to happen isn’t always the case. However, based on what we’ve seen in games one, two and three, it seems likely that the total will go beyond 218.5.

All top NBA betting sites are offering these odds for the spread. Both teams are going to be looking to win this one, more so than previous games. With the series at 2-1, this is the most important game of the NBA finals so far.

Take a total of over 218.5.
