Tuesday, Oct 06, 2020The NBA Finals and the MLB Divisional playoffs feature on the Tuesday card.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals take place at 9 PM ET after Miami won their first game in this series on Sunday with their 115-104 upset victory the Lakers as a 9-point underdog. Jimmy Butler put his team on his shoulders by scoring 40 points while adding 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his first triple-double in the playoffs in his career. That was a throwback performance for Butler when considering that none of his points came from a made 3-pointer.
The Heat won that game despite not having the services of Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo. Dragic remains doubtful for tonight with his foot injury, but Adebayo has been upgraded to questionable. Adebayo was claiming that he wanted to play on Sunday despite his neck injury, but the Miami staff decided against it. With another two days of rest and healing, Adebayo may return to the court tonight. It remains uncertain for how long he will play along to what level of effectiveness he can perform. ABC has the broadcast. The Lakers are 7.5-point favorites with the total set at 218.5 (all lines from BetAnySports).
