After clinching the Western Conference title in five games over the Denver Nuggets, the Los Angeles Lakers are $1.28 favourites at TAB to win the 2019/2020 NBA championship over the Miami Heat ($3.75).
One TAB punter is hoping the Lakers win their first title since the 2009/2010 season after plonking $100,000 at $2.40 on September 14, which would result in a $240,000 collect.
LeBron James – who was a member of the Miami Heat in their 2012 and 2013 Finals victories – is aiming to secure his fourth title and lead the Lakers to their 17th championship in franchise history.
The Heat opened $251 to win this season’s title before they acquired Jimmy Butler in the off-season and were $67 when the season commenced last October to win their fourth title.
One TAB customer could collect $28,050 after placing a $550 bet at $51 last November on the Heat to win this season’s NBA championship.
Miami secured their first Finals berth in six seasons by eliminating the Boston Celtics in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals takes place tomorrow morning from the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida and the Lakers are $1.52 favourites at TAB to defeat the Heat ($2.55).
