Eric Spoelstra has done a phenomenal job coaching the Miami Heat into the Finals. The Heat took down the Celtics in six games, topped by a 125-113 victory on Sunday. Bam Adebayo scored 32 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, and Jimmy Butler added 22 points as the Heat shot a blistering 56.2-percent. However impressive that series was for Miami, it now runs into a Los Angeles team that not only has a ton of talent, but also has won eight of its last nine games. Dating back to last season, the Lakers are 80-61 to the UNDER vs. teams like the Heat that allow 106-plus points per game. Los Angeles is also 77-61 to the UNDER vs. teams that score 106-plus points per game. Miami is in a tough spot after its big win over Boston, and under Erik Spoelstra, the Heat are 88-62 UNDER following an upset win and 181-146 UNDER after a double-digit win. The Lakers are also on a 48-29 run to the UNDER after scoring 105-plus points in three straight games, including a 30-18 UNDER record after putting up 105-plus points in five straight. I'm taking the opener of this series to stay UNDER the total.
