Recommended Pick

Miami Heat (+4.5) -110
I think the Heat have a good chance to earn a Game 1 upset. FiveThirtyEight gives them a three-point advantage over the Lakers, and while championship LeBron poses quite the challenge, the Lakers are 1-2 in their Game 1s this season. They dropped early games to both the Trail Blazers and the Rockets, and their only Game 1 victory came over the Nuggets. All of that said, I recommend that you take the spread instead of the moneyline for a bit of breathing room.
