Here are the updated series betting odds after the Nuggets won the first game, considering the moneyline only:
Heat: +500
Nuggets: -714
These odds reflect how the public initially perceived this series as a complete mismatch, as evident from the significant disparity. The first game seemed to confirm that belief. However, I would like to challenge the bettors. If you truly believe it's a complete mismatch, would you be confident enough to bet on the Nuggets sweeping the Heat in the series?

After waiting for the line up, I settled for a 3-players props parlay, Caleb Martin Over 14.5 Points + Kyle Lowry Over 3.5 Assists and Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 Rebounds at 7.08
https://prnt.sc/59jQsViFaZKW
Caleb Martin have been red hot for the Heat from their conference and I expect the confidence shouldn't drop tonight, Kyle Lowry off the bench have been very inspirational for Heat too and his experience in the finals would need for Heat here, 4 dimes shouldn't be more off an issue, Jokic have been very dominated off the board in the playoffs and if Miami Heat have let guys like Tatum afford double digits rebound almost all the 7 games of the conference finals, 14 board should be an easy reach for the Joker.
GL everyone.

Good luck! Caleb Martin needs to produce in the second half since he was scoreless in the first half. It's possible that the defense was focused on him, which is why he wasn't able to be productive. Let's see what kind of adjustments Miami will make in the second half after being down by 17 points.
Martin has only scored 3 points now, and it seems unlikely that the bet will win. The Denver Nuggets have been in control of the game, despite it being low-scoring. They have a significant lead. We're now in the 4th quarter, so it's highly unlikely that the Heat will be able to stage a comeback. They might even be fortunate if they manage to cover the spread. Additionally, for those who bet on over 219, this game will be disappointing as it's turning out to be under.

∆ N. Jokic 1+ 3pt / KCP 1+ 3pt / M. Strus 1+ 3pt / C. Martin 1+ 3pt @2.00 ∆ X
I think Miami will give Jokic the 3 ball all game long, and make it tough for him to score inside. Jokic might not be the best 3pt shooter, but he's shown he will knock those down if they leave him open. He is averaging 1.8 3s on .47% shooting in the postseason which is not too bad.
KCP has at least one three-pointer in 12/L15 postseason games, including 7/8 at home. He'll get decent looks, and i'm confident he'll get one.
One of the key points of emphasis for Miami on offense is to have Jimmy and Bam ultra-aggressive and attack the basket while putting Jokic in on as many PnRs and ISOs as they can. Martin and Strus should benefit off of that, getting open looks from deep. Strus has 1+ 3pt made in 17/L18 games, while C. Martin is 16/L18. We might see some slight regression in Martin's numbers from the Celtics series but nothing too crazy. #Let it Fly

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat
The stake odds for this game are 1.27 for the Nuggets and 4.00 for the Heat, Right now Collin Gillespie is out of the season, for the Nuggets while Tyler Herro has a hand injury and can not play for the Heat, and Victor Oladipo has a knee and is out for the season, rather than that injuries there are no pertaining injuries on both parties, but for me, the Nuggets has the most advantage in this game and Miami Heat will be needing Kevin Love for the Offensive and defensive rebounding, but for this game I will be going with the Denver Nuggets,
Decision-wise, the Denver Nuggets indeed got more chances to win in the first game hence why their odds is that low compared to the Heat. Even the bookies know the real chances of the Heat and it is not that great after all, that is why they are giving a tempting odds of 4.00
That said, I think I will just go under for now because the odds is somehow profitable for me while the chances is also good as I think it will be a close game with both teams on defensive mode. I'd be putting for the Denver but that 1.27 is not that much for me.
Regarding about Tyler Herro, his status has been changed because he is now likely to return in Game 2. We'll be seeing that one for sure.
They are trying to bait people into it. Denver is well rested and will come out firing in this one. The only thing I'm debating is the over and under results. Miami has played a slow game all playoffs but I think they will need to adjust to Denver game. I got this one 122-109 hitting the over on game 1.
Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!
Man, I probably agree with you on this one, but it is so hard for me to bet a spread when it's this far apart. I am in full belief that the Nuggets will win this game, I just can't figure out by how much. I could see it being a pretty big blow out, kinda like your score indicates, but I could also see the Miami Heat shocking everyone as they have all playoffs long.
Hour and a half to decide how to bet this..
Speaking of my bet, here's mine.
Miami Heat -8.5 @ 2.01 + ML @ 4.2 vs Denver Nuggets
Just to avoid confusion I think the "-" is a "+" @2.01. Maybe @mirakal just made a mistake. Miami Heat -8.5 @ 2.01 + ML @ 4.2 vs Denver Nuggets
I still can't believe Nuggets are given those odds. I get it, they have the likely chance to win, I am not expecting Heat to win neither, but that's too little, we should be seeing something more like 1.70 at least, and 3.00 for Heat instead of 4, this one just doesn't take Heat seriously.
A lot of basketball have repeatedly said this during the postseason, Miami Heat is underrated in the whole playoffs. They cannot gain that trust from the viewers and gamblers so I think giving them a high handicap is a bonus for those who will risk it for them especially the Heat fans.They are trying to bait people into it. Denver is well rested and will come out firing in this one. The only thing I'm debating is the over and under results.

Thanks @wheelz1200.Enjoy the game and good luck everyone!
Usually, the first games are like observing each other and there's a chance they might not play as hard as they did defensively in their last series, yet. Game 2 will be the toughest fight. I hope Jokic and the crew didn't rust their bearings and will showcase how strong they are offensively in Game 1 later so we could hit the overs.
I think Bam will make a lot of mistakes today by not moving up when Jokic makes a high post or a screen, he should not leave the Joker there. 40 percent at the three-point line is a scary number.

These are the odds for a first seeder meeting 8th seeder during first round, not during finals. Nuggets is a great team but Heat made it to finals, it should not be really this much difference between two teams facing during finals. It is going to be boring game if the game ends as the odds expect, I would expect like 20 point difference to make this legit, then I would understand why the odds were like this, but it would also be a quite boring game for sure.

I'm considering taking the handicap in game 1 because I'm afraid to bet on the ML. There's a chance that the Heat will cover the spread even if they lose, especially if the game is close. Jimmy Butler has been unstoppable, and not even Gordon could stop him. Jimmy is quick and knows how to pass the ball to his open teammates. I don't know what their specific strategy will be in game 1, but I'm confident that the Heat will always be competitive.
It is really tempting to take the odds of the Miami Heat even though I really think that the Nuggets have the advantage in this game I really think the Miami Heat can do miracles it is really tempting to take those bets and this is the finals and everything can surely happens so I think I might risk it this time, so I am going with the Miami Heat,
Denver Nuggets(-110) VS Miami Heat(+280)
For this game, it is really strange that I will be betting this game for the Miami Heat but it could have a chance and it is a good bet for sure, so I will be going with the Heat, but surely it is still unpredictable even though there are many pertaining that the Denver Nuggets will win this because they have swept the Los Angeles Lakers, but right now both teams had an out of the seasoned player and that are Collin Gillespie for the Denver Nuggets and Victor Oladipo for the Miami Heat and Tyler Herro is the one that is injured for the Heat, but for this game I will be risking for this game and going for the Miami Heat,

I don't know... I don't think Miami matches up very well against Denver at any position. Maybe Kevin Love might be able to have a miracle game with 20 rebounds or something given that he's a better rebounder than the Nuggets have at the 4, but I really don't see them having any advantages anywhere else. I believe Jokic will be able to still do his thing against Bam and I think Butler is going to be held to his worst game of the post season tonight. I can understand betting against Denver because of the odds, but if I were you I'd include a spread in there, because the best I think Miami is going to do is not lose by very much.
Well, that is why the Miami Heat have gotten Kevin Love in the 1st place, in getting him for those rebounds, just like you I am really doubting the Miami Heat if they can really do it, right now if I have seen many bet for the Miami Heat it is a risk, it was too risky for getting the win at the 1st match for sure, and this is what I am seeing right now I don't see them making any progress at all, and this is going to be a bad bet if you go with the Miami Heat, so because of this I think I will be going with the Nuggets,

I think the over 216.5 is worth considering, considering that the Denver Nuggets will win.
What if the Nuggets do not win? There is no assurance that the Nuggets will win. Although they are playing at home, it is not guaranteed that they will win as being overly confident often leads to mistakes. That is why only a few succeed in gambling.
Speaking of my bet, here's mine.
Miami Heat -8.5 @ 2.01 + ML @ 4.2 vs Denver Nuggets
Game 1 is tomorrow. Place your bets guys.
Here are the odds for the game.
Denver Nuggets ML @1.27 | -10.5 @2.11
Miami Heat ML @4.00 | +10.5 @1.71
My instincts tell me to test the waters first and go for a non-greedy pick. I am taking the Denver Nuggets (-8.5) only. Adding to my singles is the Over 216.5.
I also have some player props on my mind too but I think I will create my betbuilder later before the game starts just to be sure about the roster of each team. We don't know what could happen during warm-ups or sudden emergency body injuries.
Let's go! Good luck to everyone.

Nice Pick and you are right I really want to go with the safest bet, and all I could think of was to bet for the Denver Nuggets, for me that game from the Lakers have given them the edge, and have truly shown their potential, surely the Miami Heat win a game but for me looking at the Nuggets Timberwolves, Suns and the Lakers game all 1st game was a win so here is my pick for the game today,
Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat
The Denver Nuggets will be playing the Miami Heat in their 1st game in the Finals of the NBA in the Ball Arena, for this game the key injury for the Nuggets are non, only Collin Gillespie (lower leg) is out of the season, while the key injuries for the Heat are Tyler Herro (hand) and is out and can not play for the Heat, and Victor Oladipo (knee) and is now out of this season, for this game just like Dan I want to try the waters 1st and I am going with the team that might be proven that they are worthy to be champion, and my pick will be the Denver Nuggets,
I'm also on the Jimmy Buckets bandwagon so let's see how far he can make this series against the Denver Nuggets teams. Again, they have been underrated since game 1 of this playoffs and yet Jimmy proved his MVP mentality since the series against the Bucks. So it's going to be Jimmy against Jamal Murray, and let's see if Aaron Gordon can somewhat stop him.

I don't know what their specific strategy will be in game 1, but I'm confident that the Heat will always be competitive.
In terms of being competitive, I've got no doubts about the Heat on that one and I'm inclined that they can somehow snatch the first victory at Denver's home. They can be very unpredictable just what we've saw throughout the Eastern Finals and with the help of their few undrafted players, they can really make it work. About the Nuggets, I've got no quarrel with them but I will be with the Heat in the first two games.

I think the over 216.5 is worth considering, considering that the Denver Nuggets will win. We know that they are a good outside shooting team, so if they control the tempo, it's likely that the game will be high-scoring. Game 1 is the start of an exciting series, but Miami isn't that defensive anymore; they have also improved their 3-point shooting. So, if both teams shoot at least 45% beyond the arc, the total will be easily reached.

Regarding the pick, which is over, there is a decent chance of success because both teams are known for moving the ball and not relying too heavily on one player alone. Scoring-wise, it should not be that difficult. Based on the Nuggets' average of 118 points in their last four games, if the Miami Heat can reach 100 points, it should result in an easy win.
