NBA Finals Game 1: Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets
The NBA Finals Game 1 between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets is set to be an exciting matchup. Nikola Jokic, the offensive powerhouse of the Nuggets, will be a tough challenge for the Heat. Bam Adebayo will be tasked with guarding him and making it difficult for him to score. Adebayo’s rebounding ability will also be crucial in limiting Jokic’s second-chance opportunities. Sportsbooks have set Adebayo’s rebounding line at 8.5 with heavy juice, making it a great parlay piece.
Aaron Gordon, who scored 22 points in his last game against the Lakers, will also be a key player for the Nuggets. He has been averaging 13.8 points per game in the playoffs and has scored 10 or more points in all eight home games. Gordon’s height mismatch against Max Strus will give him an advantage in cutting to the basket and scoring.
Despite Miami’s previous success in Game 1s on the road, it will be tough for them to steal a win in Ball Arena. The Nuggets have an impressive 34-7 home record in the regular season and are 8-0 at home in the playoffs. With a rest advantage, the Nuggets are favored to win Game 1.
