Unders always scare me, especially on big name players. With that being said, I feel good about this one. Anthony Davis is a gifted scorer and a guy who can get hot at any time but this is the toughest matchup he could get.

Miami Heat vs. Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

Miami allows the fewest points to Centers and Davis has already struggled against Bam Adebayo and Co. this year. He scored nine points in 25 minutes against them earlier in the year and despite leaving the game early to injury he was by no means on pace for 30. This number just feels too high.

Davis averages 25 points per game and needs to beat his average by five points against the toughest matchup there is, this is a no brainer. I know this game should be close and it’s on ESPN but this feels like a LeBron James game with how Miami’s injuries stack up missing Jimmy Butler. I know unders are scary but I like this. Let's roll!
