The NBA odds are out, and it’s finally here, ladies and gentlemen. The 2023 NBA Finals are upon us, and the series to end the wild campaign is here and ready to be played. The NBA player stats will be interesting to track as the NBA schedule is set. With a lot of rest coming for the Denver Nuggets since sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers. Getting a series over and done as fast as they did certainly comes with some perks, as all the guys dealing with injuries and soreness were able to get well.
The NBA standings feature a No. 1 and a No. 8 team duking it out, which is not something we expected to happen this year. And of course, the NBA injury report, with Tyler Herro and Victor Oladipo’s names written down, did not expect to play such a role in defining how a team would overcome extreme adversity. They did just that, and here they have come, those Miami Heat. Any Heat vs Nuggets betting will be tricky. As an underdog squad that held off history being made battles it out with the mighty mountain warriors of the opposite conference.
When talking about these squads, it’s important to know that each had their own tricky path to get here, and made it. And no two series have lasted the same number of games, either.

Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets Recent Score
If the NBA picks being made are in Miami’s favor, it is important to keep in mind that they have been ready when the moment has called. They took the Bucks down in five games. They ended the Knicks in six, finishing that one up on their home floor. And in the case of Boston, when they finally had their backs to the wall, they pushed back.
The NBA team stats for Denver have been more than good enough with the star players showing up to deliver big moments and big plays time and time again. Nikola Jokic has been totally unstoppable, with Jamal Murray picking up all of the additional slack as needed. They were well coached, and if they eventually decide to try and alter the rotation, will have many-a-players who can come in and be ready.
Heat vs Nuggets betting picks to come.
Heat vs. Nuggets Betting Analysis
Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have only lost a single home game in the postseason, and have been tough to stop away from home. It seems whenever they are doubted by Vegas and listed as an underdog, that they manage to finagle some victories. Watch out as they are heavy game 1 underdogs.
Denver Nuggets
The only team in the 2023 playoffs with a perfect home record, and the altitude has a lot to do with it. Minnesota Timberwolves could not do it. Phoenix Suns went 0-3 there. And then there were the Lakers who got swept out of the postseason by this squad of absolute warriors out there.
Coming up next is the Heat vs Nuggets betting predictions. Some decisions will be made and perhaps, some money along with them.
Updates
Denver will have its full arsenal of players available, while Miami’s Tyler Herro continues to put in the work with the hopes of a late-series return.

Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets Betting Prediction
MIA +297: Money to be made folks, and it sure will. The Heat are ready to become the first team to win a game in Denver during the playoffs. While they may be outmatched this time, that was also the case against the Lakers in the bubble.
They managed two wins in that one, and this Nuggets team, good as it is, is not as dangerous. Jimmy Butler and Nikola Jokic have their legacies on the line. And Jimmy will take care of game 1.
