The Miami Heat are on the verge of blowing a 3-0 series lead to the Boston Celtics, but they can still win Game 7 in Boston to advance to the NBA Finals.
Heat fans have to be at least a little worried ahead of Game 7, but there is an interesting value in the betting market for those that believe in this team.
After moving to +550 to win the NBA Finals after losing Game 5, the Heat have seen their odds to win the NBA Finals nearly double after losing Game 6.

Before Game 6:
▪️ Nuggets -185
▪️ Celtics +280
▪️ Heat +550
After:
▪️ Nuggets -110
▪️ Celtics +110
▪️ Heat +1200
This may seem like a bad thing, but if you’re a bettor that thinks Miami will win Game 7, this is an insane value on the team to win the title. Let me explain with the latest odds:
Latest odds to win NBA Finals
If the Heat, who are 7.5-point underdogs in Game 7, upset the Celtics on Monday night, they’ll likely move to a similar position that they were to win this series in the potential series against Denver.
Miami entered the Eastern Conference Finals at +400 to advance to the NBA Finals. If that’s the case in the Finals against Denver, fans and bettors would get a massive boost by taking Miami now at +1400 and hoping the team pulls off the win in Game 7.
Boston has been great in Game 7s the past two seasons, going 3-for-3, but no team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit.
Vegas isn’t on the Heat’s side, but winning four straight is a tough task. If you believe in the Heat to win and potentially win it all, there won’t be a better price than the one we have now.
