The Miami Heat are headed to Miami and the Los Angeles Clippers are headed north to take on the Los Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
The Clippers have the Heat in the best position to win the title.
But who wins this game?
The Clips have a chance at taking home a second straight NBA title, but they’re not at the top of their game.
Let’s take a look at who is the best team to win this game.
1.
Los Angeles Lakers The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the NBA title three times since their introduction in 1972.
They won the last title in 1996, but the team is still struggling with injuries.
The Dodgers have two MVP candidates in Clayton Kershaw and Clayton Kershield.
They have a couple of top-10 players in Andrew Bynum and Dee Gordon.
And their best player is the team’s best hitter in Bryce Harper.
The Los Angeles team is the most dominant team in the league right now.
But it will need to play better if it wants to take home the title in 2020.
Los has a lot of talent, but it needs to start winning more.
2.
Houston Rockets The Houston Rockets have won a franchise-record seven titles in their seven seasons of existence.
They’re the best offense in the NFL.
They also have some of the best players in the game.
They’ve added Dwight Howard to their roster.
And James Harden is the MVP of the league.
But Houston’s problems are more serious than any of its previous title run.
Their bench has been inconsistent.
And they’ve lost games at home to teams that were more dominant than they were.
The Rockets should win this one, but this team should be a lot better than this one.
3.
Detroit Pistons The Detroit Pistons won a title in 2012 and the Pistons have lost in each of the last four NBA Finals series.
They were the second seed in the Western Conference in 2014, but in 2016 they went on a hot streak to get swept in the conference semifinals by the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This year, though, the Pistons are coming off their worst season in franchise history.
They still have a lot to prove.
They should win, but that’s a tall order.
The Pistons will need another big game from Tobias Harris and Andre Drummond to get them over the hump.
4.
Milwaukee Bucks The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the San Antonio Spurs last year.
This season, they’ve added Brandon Knight to their rotation and added Paul Millsap and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
They’ll have some star power, but not much.
They will need some big games from Brandon Knight and Paul Millsapp to get over the top in the Eastern Conference Finals.
5.
Miami Heat The Miami Heat have won five NBA titles in the last seven seasons.
They lost in the first round in 2017, but have won three in a row in the past four.
The Heat have some talent, and they’ve got a couple key players in Dion Waiters and Hassan Whiteside.
But they have a bad defensive team.
Their rotation has been bad for years.
And this year, they lost in six games to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
This team is better than it was last year, but winning the title will take a lot more than just a couple good games.
6.
Chicago Bulls The Chicago Bulls have won four titles in six seasons.
But their offense has been terrible.
They don’t have any of their superstars.
They haven’t won the title since 2003.
They are the only team to miss the playoffs since the 2010-11 season.
They finished with the worst record in the West last season, but then they were swept by the Miami Heat in six straight games to win their first championship in seven years.
They can’t win this series.
7.
Washington Wizards The Washington Wizards are headed into the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
They had a very strong run in the early going, but since then, they have lost five of their last six games.
They didn’t get much help from Giannis Beasley.
They couldn’t get to a fourth consecutive postseason berth.
Washington has the potential to win it all, but its offense has just not been good enough.
The Wizards should win the series, but their defense is going to need to improve.
8.
Toronto Raptors The Toronto Raptors are in the playoffs, but there’s not much excitement in Toronto right now after the team lost two straight games against the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Pelicans.
The Raptors have the best defense in the East.
They got some help from Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, but those guys haven’t been playing at their peak.
The Toronto team has a good bench, but a big problem is that it lacks a reliable scorer.
They might be better than the Cleveland Cavs, but I think they are still in the bottom third of the Eastern standings.
9.
Milwaukee Brewers The Wisconsin Badgers have won seven titles since
