Premium Pick

Miami goes into Game 2 with two key injuries to deal with as guard Goran Dragic has a plantar fascia tear in his left foot, and center Bam Adebayo has a neck injury. Wednesday's game stayed UNDER as the Lakers won 116-98 while holding the Heat to 42.7-percent shooting. Jimmy Butler scored 23 points for Miami, which made only 11 of 35 from 3-point distance, and Adebayo and Dragic combined for 14 points before they had to leave the game. Without their two key players Miami will be forced to rely on strong defense from the start to stay in the game. LeBron James already has said the Lakers have much more work to do and they won't let up on the defensive end this close to winning a championship. Miami will be fortunate to score more than the 98 thay had in Game 1. Play the UNDER.
