Miami Heat vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

The Lakers didn’t look great yesterday against a subpar Warriors roster, outright losing as the biggest favorite on the entire card. You could assume the Lakers are due for a bounce back effort, but as mentioned yesterday, I’m not stepping in front of this Heat squad. The Heat have players who will see legit NBA minutes this season, and they’re a franchise that plays hard and to win regardless if games matter or not. Summer league, preseason, whatever, the Heat brings a competitive nature to the court. The Heat won the summer league tournament last year and are off to a fine start this year. I’ll keep backing them as long as that continues. Give me the Heat and reasonable line.
