The last time we saw the teams, Nikola Jokic wasn’t the super-threat he normally is, with only four assists and 23 points. But he did what he could to help his team win — including kicking the basketball to deflect it and stop an easy layup. But when Miami’s defense stopped Joker from being a threat, his team stepped up.
That included Aaron Gordon posting 27 points, and Bruce Brown Jr. with 21. Denver also managed to hold onto its lead when Jokic left the court with his fifth foul, 5+ minutes into the fourth.
As for Miami? They don’t look defeated, as flashes of brilliance were still more prominent than in Game 1, but they need to figure out why people like Max Strus are posting 0 points, and how to wake up Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin’s shooting.
The Heat will not have the injured Tyler Herro, who is still unavailable from his hand injury.
DraftKings, at the time of publication, has the Nuggets (-380) as the favorite and the Heat (+310) as the underdog, which are down from -425 and +340, respectively. So, betting $380 on the winning Nuggets would earn you $100, and a $100 bet on the winning Heat would net you $310.
