<h2 id="4n2rb">Game 1 Prediction</h2>
<p>The Number one seed Denver Nuggets are finally here. The Nuggets won their first Western conference title after 5 failed attempts and have a chance to lift the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy for the first time in franchise history.</p>
<p>For Game 1 tonight, the Nuggets are going to continue to ride the fantastic play of 2 time MVP Nikola Jokic and superstar Jamal Murray.</p>

<p>This is a great piece on<a href="https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/jamal-murrays-playoff-run-isnt-just-a-return-to-form-its-a-warning-to-the-rest-of-the-nba" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> how fantastic Point Guard Jamal Murray has been playing </a>throughout the playoffs and how key he is to the Nuggets success in their quest towards the Championship.</p>
<p>Murray will be crucial once again, as will the main man Nikola Jokic.</p>
<p>The Joker has also been fantastic all throughout the playoffs, doing whatever the Nuggets need on a game to game basis to lead them to victory night in and night out.</p>
<p>Jokic is one of the toughest players to prepare for, as he averaged a triple double on the season, but can beat you in every single way possible.</p>
<p>He is capable of  dropping 40 points, grabbing 20+ rebounds, recording 15+ assists, or doing it all at once.</p>
<p>Miami will have their hands full all series dealing with the lethal one-two punch from the Nuggets, but Jimmy Butler and the Heat have been here before and will be ready for it all.</p>
<h3 id="8a94f">Don’t underestimate the Heat</h3>
<p>The Miami Heat have been to the NBA Finals in 2 of the last 4 seasons, so it should be no surprise that they find themselves back here again. </p>
<p>But the path this season was far from expected and their most impressive run of them all.</p>
<p>After knocking out the top seed Milwaukee Bucks in 5 games and handling the Knicks in 6, the Heat finally took care of business against the 2 seed Celtics in Game 7 of what was one of the better Eastern Conference Finals series in recent memory. </p>
<p>The Heat have seen it all and have been underdogs for most of it. They don’t care.</p>

<p>Tonight, they get to prove the doubters wrong once again and come out hot to start the Finals.</p>
<p>And I think they do just that.</p>
<h2 id="ahvhs">Best Bet for Game 1</h2>
<p>I know the Nuggets have been fantastic, especially at home, all season and in the playoffs. But 9 points with how well this Heat team is playing right now is too many points.</p>
<p>I find it very hard to believe Jimmy Butler and company go into Ball Arena tonight and get blown out by 10+ in Game 1. </p>
<p>The Heat were heavy underdogs in every round of the playoffs so far. And they won every game outright.</p>
<p>I am not sure if they win outright tonight but I am going to bet on them to cover the spread.</p>
<p>The drama of the NBA Finals begins tonight and I think we see a tight one to get us going.</p>

<h3 id="85pfm">Jimmy Butler o5.5 Assists (-140) FanDuel</h3>

<p>Well, as you can see, I like the Heat tonight to start the series strong in Game 1 and if that is the case, Jimmy Butler is going to have to be a big part, scoring but more importantly, facilitating.</p>
<p>Butler has 6+ assists in 3 of his last 5 and 7 of his last 10 playoffs games. He also has fantastic success against the Nuggets facilitating.</p>
<p>Butler has not only 6+ but 8+ assists in both games against Denver this season, and the last 3 versus the Nuggets.</p>
<p>I like that trend to continue tonight and Jimmy to do a bit of everything to lead the Heat.</p>
