A $100 bet on the Miami Heat to win Game 5 of the 2020 NBA Finals outright pays $255 on the moneyline.
Action was unusually balanced on the spread but around three quarters of the moneyline action was coming in on the LA Lakers. They were being offered at a price of -325.
The Lakers will shoot for their first title since 2010, when they defeated the Boston Celtics in seven games. They also will be gunning for their 17th title, which would tie them with the Celtics for most in the NBA.
Entering the season, Miami would have paid out $6600 to win the NBA Championship. Down 1-3, that seems highly unlikely at this time. The Lakers opened at 4-1.
