Two teams expected to perform well in 2021 meet up Christmas Day. The Miami Heat opened at -4.5 with a half point move up at a few books as of Thursday.
Miami pays $1500 for every $100 bet to win the 2021 NBA Championship. New Orleans pays out $7000.
The Pelicans were struggling in the bubble on their way to a 2-6 mark in Orlando. They were inconsistent prior to the global pandemic and stopage of play back in March but did show some hopeful signs. Having Zion Williamson doesn't hurt either.
From ESPN:
"Williamson could make a jump in his second season for one simple reason: He'll be healthy. Williamson has been downright giddy in preseason availabilities when talking about the lack of restrictions on him this season. He was already historically efficient as a rookie and if he's 100%, there's no reason to think he won't be better in 2020-21."
