Nuggets must end this series next game because they have the home court advantage and once they can not defeat Miami heat then for sure Miami heat have a chance to win in the next game because it will go back to their court. And in my opinion if the series will go up to game 7 then this is a marketing strategy of NBA which is they are making their fans got nervous

Indeed it would have been an amazing story if Heat made it in this situation. But it really seems like game over from now on as Nuggets have brought the series to 3-1. The point gap was again above 10 points which is really another solid win for Nuggets side. Moreover Nuggets are going to have a court advantage next time. It will probably end by 4-1 as a result.

Jokic definitely deserves the championship though. He has made an incredible effort until now and he has been the star of the playoffs also. I agree with the people who think that he will get an MVP prize for the final series. Murray also has been really beneficial lately which alleviates Jokic's load at the same time which is nice to see.  

But of course I must admit that Gordon did hell of a work in Game 4. 

Another win.  Leaning in hard on game 5.  I can't see Miami coming back and game 5 will end up being just too much.  We could be witnessing the beginning of a dynasty here.  Jokic has learned how to completely control the game and with Murray, mjp, and Gordon along with the other role players this team is set to win for awhile.

Thanks and it was really a win for us, I think the Denver Nuggets really did a great job in handling and penetrating the defense of the Miami Heat, it was a crazy game the Miami Heat did struggle, I don't really know what the Miami Heat can do now in order for this game to go at game 7, because I am seeing an end at Game 5 the Denver Nuggets is really a team that you can not underestimate, They have a great team indeed Aaron Gordon and Bruce Brown made an incredible points for this game,


It's another win for the Denver Nuggets definitely a game over for the Miami Heat because they will likely be having a hard time returning on Game 5 If Erik Spoelstra doesn't come up with some plans and Jimmy Butler didn't up his game for Game 5 it is over for the Miami Heat, the Denver Nuggets is a team that are now dominating the Finals with 3 wins now, this could be the end for the Miami Heat,

It’s not that they switch role with Jokic but he was forced to do that since he was always double team before he can make his moves so his natural reaction will pass the ball on the open teammates to made a shot for him. You can notice how he always hesitated to make a shot because he was on double team. Coach Erik knew how Jamal capable of making a lot of points so he decided to make him force to passed hoping that other players will have a terrible field goal like MPJ and KCP that is still struggling.

Coach Malone made a good adjustment on rotating his bench for MPJ play time since he is not productive on defense and offense while KCP is still good on defense. Nuggets is clearly on different level when Heat doesn’t have their magic 3. Gabe Vincent score only 2 points because of his foul trouble while he is the important player that contributes more on offense.

It was really a great catch indeed, 1 more game and the Denver Nuggets will be the champion, truly a very great game right now Bruce Brown Jr. and Aaron Gordon made their incredible scoring in this game while Jamal Murray was now the one who switched the job of Jokic with the assist but still he is making those critical shooting when needed it was a great game to watch now I am curious on what the Miami Heat will do in the next game,

The result of Game 4

Miami Heat(2.22) VS Denver Nuggets(1.69) - WIN

Despite the zone defense of the Miami Heat to stop Jokic from getting those Crucial assists and just letting him inside the basket, Jamal Murray has switched his job with Jokic and made 12 assists, which made a great effect on the other players for the Denver Nuggets, Jamal Murray has a double-double of 12 assist and 15 points, Bruce Brown Jr. got 21 points Nikola Jokic has a double-double as well of 12 rebounds and 23 points, and Aaron Gordon got 27 points, winning the game if Coach Erik Spoelstra doesn't come up with some solid defense and offense for the Miami Heat Game 5 will be their last,

Jokic got a big lift from his teammates, those important baskets in the last quarter where he got his 5th foul.

It's really amazing that those fellas who are playing with Murray are really stepping up,
Gordon and Green with KCP and Brown and Porter Jr all  give their shares to prevent Miami
from making a rally and snatching this game away from them.


Congrats to all, especially those who support the Nuggets in handicap great catch!

You got that 1 steal but didn't get the points covered. He only made 1 point from the free-throw line but he is definitely helpful on the defensive end. I like how the points are spread now on the Denver Nuggets team, everyone is helping, Aaron Gordon outdoing himself on the offensive end by scoring 27 points in 42 minutes.
They showed today it's not just Jokic and Murray who are lethal in their team. Everyone is. 38 points only combined points of the duo but the rest of the team surely filled the holes and contributed. 48 points combined for Brown and Gordon. They are just too awesome as a team and it showed today.

Won my -4.5. I am late to set up my props, sadly.
It's just like the Lakers series, the only difference is the Miami Heat stole one, but if they didn't, this could've also ended in a sweep. I bet more comments about how underrated the Miami Heat is will come out today. Then, some things on why they are underdogs and what they lack on why they keep on losing games.
Congratulations to all the winners.

That award will surely go to him. He wasn't able to tally a triple-double in this game, but his teammates stepped up, particularly Gordon, who scored 27 points with impressive shooting. This series will not go to Game 7 unless the Heat perform like the Celtics, who would need to win the next games to bring it to a Game 7 in the series.

Strus and Vincent, who were the heroes in Game 2, were not factors in this game, which is a big reason for the loss.

Congrats to those who ride on the bandwagon on the Nuggets, and I think majority of us her won on that bet.

Just one game and they will be the champions, it's a long road for the team, for sure Murray will be very emotional.  Just like Klay of the Warriors, we wouldn't thought that he will also make a comeback and then help his team go the finals and win it.

Jokic no doubt will be the finals MVP so another accomplishment for the big fella.

I guess it's high we just call this series what it really is, It's game for the Miami Heat, and I'm going to put majority of the blame on Butler yet again a 37 year Kyle Lowry still dropping credible numbers and plays, and the same goes for Kelvin Love, but Jimmy Butler saw Nikola Jokic out with 5 foul, I believe that was their best right time to charge and attack the rim with Jimmy Butler being the best man for the job, he did just once or twice and both were successful for FTs and the other was a basket and a chance at a 3 point play while already in the bonus, but he just wouldn't want to carry the game on himself as it should be, I wonder why with Jokic out and Jimmy not double teamed, he would rather have Bam Adebayo bring the ball from the back court all the to the front when Jimmy himself is better ball handler and could easily draw 'em fouls, but he decide to hide himself in the right corner and barely touched the in the last 2- 3, all we get for this series is "Jimmy Bottler"....


Denver Nuggets are the 2023 NBA Champions, with Jokic as the well deserved Finals MVP, you saw it here first..., Let's just wait for the official announcement on Tuesday.

Miami Heat starting to bring this game closer. Even though I put some bitcoin on the Denver Nuggets, I’d still like to see this game be a good one.  I don’t think the Heat will be able to close the gap though, and think Denver is just too strong for them. Jokic is just such a beast.

Hoping to see more “playoff Jimmy”. He’s not been that guy this series for some reason. Go

The Heat have never been behind in a series prior to the NBA Finals. This is the only series where they are trailing, but if it becomes 3-1, then you are right that the series could be over soon. However, it's too early to discuss that in my opinion because the Heat are still fighting to even the series. Despite being the underdogs, they haven't let that deter them. They are here to compete and aim to make history by winning the championship. It's this kind of dedication that makes them a good team.

It's definitely a gameover If Denver Nuggets should win this game 4, which I think they will unless Jimmy Butler choses to either step up today or sit out, and I really don't know when next he get a shot at winning a championship, should the Heat win the Championship this it's pretty obvious whose name would make the most story and it's that of Butler's over everyone else on the Heat roster, he's stated really with the Bucks and Celtics, but all that would have count for nothing if he folds now!

What NBA story could possible better than the 8th seeded team and with the most undrafted playing winning a championship while beating the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th best teams of the regular season enroute to the victory, and that'll make Jimmy go down as the first to have done it, I know they're some many record that have been broken this season and post alone by various teams or individual, but there is still a few more that could get broken too.

The Nuggets are still on the lead because of that dominating performance in game 3, game 4 will be a different one the Miami Heat can struggle again in game 4 but that game 2 was really a struggle for them so for me the Denver Nuggets still has the edge in this game, game 2 was also a close game they manage to stop Jamal Murray but they can not stop Nikola Jokic, that is why they let him score but they manage to stop him from passing and making assist, which is a brilliant plan from Erik Spoelstra,


Many are still hoping for a Miami Heat to come back but the incredible performance of both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic both Triple-double performance is a masterpiece play, that is why I think that the Nuggets can manage another dominating performance but if Erik Spoelstra manage another crazy play and Jimmy Butler would not be so stubborn enough in disobeying Erik Spoelstra another win comeback for the Miami Heat is actually not impossible but right now it is the Denver Nuggets time to shine moment,

Miami Heat(2.22) VS Denver Nuggets(1.69)

Another close odd for these two teams, the odds are from stake.com right now Tyler Herro still can not play for the Heat, while the Denver Nuggets don't have any injuries, well because of that great performance of the Nuggets against the Miami Heat in game 3 where both Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic manage to get a triple-double I really think that they can still have that kind of play in game 4, so my pick is the Denver Nuggets,

I'm outdoing myself today by sharing 5 tickets (i've actually placed twice as many already lol), there aren't that many games left, and i know i'll miss betting on player props for the next 3-4 months without NBA. The plan is to get as many as i can while we still have games on...


∆ Jokic 20+ points / Jokic 10+ rebounds / Jokic 10+ assists @1.98 ∆  X

Jokic is a walking triple-double machine, he has two already in the Finals. I think the Heat will try to improve their Murray/Jokic high PnR defense by having a third defender in there, which means Jokic will have guys open in the corners for wide-open 3s most of the time.

∆ Kevin Love Under 4.5 rebounds @1.86 ∆   won

Love did his thing in Game 2 and helped the Heat on the boards with 10 on 22 minutes. He was ineffective in Game 3 with only 2 rebounds in his limited time on the court (16 minutes), as the Heat were blown out on the boards -25. I expect his minutes to go further down to maybe 10-12, hence the under.

∆ C. Martin 14+ PR @1.78 ∆   won

This bet is closely related to Love's minutes. I fully expect Martin's playing time to be in the area of 30-35 minutes, if not more. The Heat need someone other than Jimmy and Bam to step up. C. Martin had a great series against Boston, showing that he can be the team's third scorer.

∆ C. Braun 5+ points / C. Braun 1+ steals @3.40 ∆  X

This kid had some amazing plays in Games 2 and 3, he covered 5+1 in both games when he was given 15+ mins.

∆ J. Butler, D. Robinson, K. Lowry, C. Martin, M. Strus 1+ 3pts @3.00 ∆   X

If the Heat are to tie the series their shots from deep need to fall, therefore a fun little 1+ 3pt parlay.

Butler 3/3
Robinson 3/3
Lowry 3/3
Martin 3/3
Strus 2/3

@jakelyson good luck bro.

My picks for tonight.

Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets = Denver Nuggets Win 1,70 Odds.

Bam Adebayo Points, Assists and Rebounds = 34,5 Over 1,75 Odds.

Jamal Murray Points, Assists and Rebounds = 38,5 Over 1,85 Odds.

Good luck guys.

They cannot go on a shooting contest against the Nuggets. They have better shooters and could also dominate the paint. Even Jimmy will have a hard time driving and forcing shots in the inside. The rest of the Heat should deliver as well. Outside shooting is a big factor for them. If they go cold again in beyond the arc, it will be a Nuggets game. They cannot fully stop Jokic and Murray combo but they can force them to commit mistakes. Heat is a defensive team. They should start with good defense and offense will follow.

Here is my bet for today's game. Picking the Denver to win and take the 3-1 lead going back to their home. I believe it will be a gentleman's sweep against the Miami Heat.

It's really a monster duo and I don't know what might be their response after that loss but hoping Coach Spoelstra has one which I don't doubt as an experience coach. If Jokic make plays, it really translate for them to win and that's what they should stop him from doing. If this wouldn't be tied tonight at 2-2 then I'd say it will be over them for good at the Denver home court.

I doubted them through every series.  Of the series I thought they could win was the Celtics one because they match up well against them.  They got help with giannis getting hurt in game one.  But this one might end up being a quick 5 game gentlemen sweep.  I'm leaning hard on Denver all the way through.  No answer for jokic.  And if Murray is on forget it no chance.
