San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat

The Miami Heat will step out at the AA Arena on Thursday night hoping to complete a remarkable turnaround in this series after being on the brink of defeat.

LeBron James' triple double combined with huge defensive plays from Chris Bosh and Ray Allen's clutch three helped the defending champions find a way to win in an exhilarating Game 6.

They will have the momentum heading into the decider, and with home court advantage they are strong favourites to seal a second championship in two years, as the last road team to win a Finals Game 7 was almost 35 years ago.

In contrast, the San Antonio Spurs will have been dejected following their heartbreaking defeat, as they were unable to close the game out despite leading down the stretch.

Despite the disappointment of Tuesday, this is still an experienced Spurs team full of champions and they are more than capable of bouncing back.

As expected, Miami are strong favourites at 1.422/5 and it is perfectly conceivable that the likes of James and Wade could run away with it and clinch a blow-out win.

However, there is value to be had in backing San Antonio, as neither team have yet won back-to-back games in this series. It is widely accepted that this could be Duncan and Ginobili's last Finals game, so expect them to come out aggressive and leave it all out on the court to put the pressure back on the hosts.

Recommended Bets:
Back the San Antonio Spurs to win Game 7 @ 3.3512/5
Back over 189.5 pts @ 2.0421/20
