Latest Odds : LAL -10 Total 218.5
The Lakers were able to bring home a win in the second game of the finals. However, the 10 point victory may seem a little hollow at some points as the Heat were not up to their full strength. That alone can make a difference in how the team is able to play and can make it very difficult for the Heat to compete, but with how competitive Miami was in the game it calls into question what would happen if the Heat were at full strength.
In the 124-114 victory the Lakers were led by LeBron James in the scoring with a total of 33 points. James ended up going 14/25 from the field, but was not good from the line at 2/5. Anthony Davis was able to pull down a total of 14 rebounds for the Lakers in the game.

The Heat allowed the Lakers to get a total of 124 points in the game. That definitely was not something the Heat wanted to have happen. However, the defense for the Heat had to show up quite a bit better in the game if they were going to bring home the win and in the second game the defense for the Heat is what ended up costing the Heat the chance of winning the game.
Jimmy Butler ended up leading the Heat in the scoring part of the game. Butler managed to get 25 points on some horrible shooting in the game. Butler went 7/17 from the field, but went 11/12 from the line. Kelly Olyny was able to pull down a total of 9 rebounds in the game for the Heat.

Free Betting Pick: Miami Heat +10
In this game the Heat have their back against the wall and for the Heat with some of the issues they are dealing with taking down the Lakers it could be more of a challenge than expected. Look for the Heat to struggle in the game, but in this game, though, the Heat will keep the game close enough to cover the spread, but the Lakers with the James and Davis combination is simply too strong. Final Score, Los Angeles Lakers win, but fail to cover 112-105.
