Tyler Herro will forever be a villain to me for that backdoor cover jumper to finish Game 4, but it won't deter me from taking the Lakers again here. Plus, the Lakers are wearing their Mamba jerseys. They're 4-0 in the black jerseys during the playoffs and winning by 10 points per game. How can you bet against that!?

The Lakers and Heat on Friday meet after a minibreak. The break allowed the Heat to get some extra rest for banged-up personnel but also gives the Lakers a chance to focus on completing their task. Expect the Heat’s offense to fizzle out as the Lakers' quest to win a championship is finalized. Grab the Lakers.

Facing elimination in the NBA Finals, Jimmy Butler is not going to let the Heat go down quietly. Getting Bam Adebayo back from injury in Game 4 was huge, and he could be even better in Game 5 after having a couple of days off to rest. Although I expect the Lakers to win to end the season, the Heat can keep it close with Adebayo back/more in form, so give me the points.
