This is a 10* on UNDER

This is the first time these teams have seen one another since October when they met in the NBA Finals. The way things are going this year, this could be the last time they meet for a while. The Heat are really struggling, 12-17 and just barely hanging on to what would be one of the “play-in” spots in the Eastern Conference. Truthfully, the Lakers have been a bit underwhelming as they are not leading the Western Conference. But they are definitely one of the league’s best teams and are only two games back of the Jazz. Being that LeBron is off a loss here, figure the Lakers will be “locked in” tonight. Though they fell to Brooklyn Thursday, they held the Nets to just 109 points, an achievement in its own right. Now the Nets didn’t have Durant/Irving, but that hasn’t stopped them from putting up a lot of points before. That Los Angeles only scored 98 themselves in that game is a bit concerning though. Only the Knicks are allowing less points/game and the Lakers are 1st in defensive efficiency. Miami isn’t a good offensive team. The Under was 4-2 in the NBA Finals last year. The Lakers still don’t have Anthony Davis. Play on UNDER
