Crushing Blow for Miami Bettors

On the flip side, it was an utterly crushing defeat for the Miami Heat, who were .1 seconds away from a trip to the NBA finals. After blitzing the Celtics and jumping out to a 3-0 series lead, the value of a Heat future shot up all the way over 4.5x. An understandable loss in Game 4, followed by a drubbing in Game 5, set up a crucial home game, and perhaps Miami’s best chance to put this series away. With the loss, the Heat are now +1400 again to win the title.

.1 Seconds Away from the NBA Finals

Despite trailing most of the game, Jimmy Butler showed up late and put the Heat in position to close it out with one stop. Just when it looked like they got that stop in the form of a missed Marcus Smart three, Miami forgot the fundamental component of rebounding, and allowed a tip in as time expired.

Heat Future Currently Valued at $100

There was absolutely no way to have a more dramatic ending that Heat fans will stew over until the end of time, if they can not find a way to Win Game 7. A $100 future for the Heat still sits at around par value, so it might be time to take your medicine and cash out. I love Boston to win at home and complete the most epic series comeback in NBA history.
