After suffering a rare blowout loss on Thursday night against the Brooklyn Nets, the Los Angeles Lakers face the team they faced in the 2020 NBA Finals in the bubble last fall in the Miami Heat. But unlike the Lakers, the Heat have struggled to find any semblance of consistency since leaving the bubble last October.
The Heat come into Saturday night’s game against the Lakers as the league’s most disappointing team through this point in the season. The disappointment in their season has had a couple of lows, including a home loss to the Wizards and blowing a 15-point 4th quarter lead to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday.
Here’s when you should tune in to see the game:
- Date: Feb. 20
- Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
- TV Channel: ABC/ESPN
- Spread via BetMGM: Lakers -3.5
