Speaking of Tyler Herro, I don't think the Heat would risk playing him if he is not 100% healthy. They are not desperate because they have already evened the series by winning one game on the road. They have the advantage to delay Herro's return in order to ensure he is fully conditioned and to avoid risking his future if he were to get injured again. Additionally, Herro may not have had much practice with the team, so there's a chance he might underperform and potentially cost the Heat a game. Considering these factors, I'm fine with not seeing him come back in the game.
For sure next game will be a best game for Miami heat as we all know that they are good now they defeated the nuggets in game two which is very good and now they are preparing for the game three which is if they can manage to win they have a chance to have the advantages and like what you said thier teammates Herro has still have his time to rest it because of his injury, because once they force to play then there's a chance that he can not donate his best in the game .

With the Heat winning a game on the road against the Nuggets, betting on them just became a whole lot more interesting though.
That's obviously the right thing to do. The doubt regarding Miami's capability to beat Denver is now gone due to their win in game 2. Therefore, it is highly likely that this series will be similar to the ones against the Bucks or the Celtics, where the Heat would likely come up as the winner.

Herro already came out and said he didn’t think it would be a good idea to try and join the team now because it could very likely mess up their chemistry. He doesn’t want to cost himself that ring.

Okay, the spreads changed, thankfully.
Miami Heat versus Denver Nuggets - Denver Nuggets (-3.5)
Although the negative handicap is still for the Nuggets, I like to see it this low even though the Nuggets will win again. -8.5 - -10.5 is just too much. This is the Finals and the Miami Heat should not be underestimated.
Tyler Herro injury updates.
Not yet as for now but there is one more day remaining and it might change. If the paint and swelling comes out, they might let him play for restricted minutes.
Don't want to get my hopes too high. I will take the Nuggets as early as possible before it changes again with Tyler Herro being announced to play or not.
Sometimes early betting has its perks and I do believe I had the chance to take advantage of that on some games.
Nikola Jokic's face after the lost in Denver is something to remember, the look of someone who will come back stronger in any homecourt he will play.
Expecting him to be aggressive and probably let his teammates do some damage using him as the center of the play.

If there is pain and swelling, can the Heat put him out there? This is the Finals, but this is also a 23-year-old under a long contract, and if there is a heightened risk of further injury Miami may need to protect the player from himself.

As of now, there have been no changes to the spread. It's still +2.5 for the Heat, which I believe is worth taking a shot.
Expect no changes to that spread, even if the Heat announce that Herro will be coming back in game 3. The Heat now have the momentum, and they believe they can win games whether on the road or at home, so it's not new to them. Right now, Miami is more battle-tested as they were able to win in game 7 after losing three consecutive games. I hope the Nuggets will not be too emotional after losing game 2 and will instead focus on getting the job done, which is to win.
Well now I don't know which way to go for game 3. Literally zero clue or feeling of what will happen. I think I'm just going to bow out and enjoy the rest of the series. Might throw some on jokic props because no one can stop that dude. Crazy game.
I didn't expect Denver Nuggets to still be the bookies favorites for game 3, but as things currently stands, they're the favorites as per the bookies, I'll expect multiple rotations and changes to both rosters, so I really can't also pick a side too, as the game 2 went both ways and both teams had significant lead they could both bank on to win the game, so I would agree your assertion of not being able to pick one side, as for I'd just stick to my player props and settle for perhaps medium lines with decent chances according to my risk analysis and enjoy the game.
However, I would still give the Nuggets the edge here if I were to pick a side because they've a better performing bench players compared to the Miami Heat, aside from the veteran maestro Kyle Lowry who heavily impact these games despite is high minutes restriction.
The Nuggets have the edge, but I like the Heat's chances in their first home game in the NBA Finals. If the Nuggets were able to make their fans happy in game 1, I'm confident the Heat will do the same in their first game. This series has become a game of adjustments. Expect Kevin Love to still have plenty of minutes on the floor if the Nuggets fail to make an adjustment. Now, the Nuggets cannot bully inside as Kevin Love is there to stop Gordon from doing so.

I was favouring Nuggets for this game honestly. I thought a scenario like this:
- Nuggets make the series 2-0 first.
- Then Heat make it 2-2.
- After that we would see a 3-2 and 3-3.
- At the end we would see Nuggets winning the series by 4-3 and winning their first ever championship also.
But Heat surprised me by winning Game 2 by only a 3-point gap. There wasn't actually a very impressive individual performance at Heat side. But there was when it comes to Nuggets. Jokic really did his best - 41 pts, 11 reb. This guy definitely deserves a championship because of his high effort throughout the season so far.
It was a bad night for the Nuggets. I think they will bounce and win next game, they can't have 2 bad nights in a row. Jokic needs assist for one more guy and they will win it.- Nuggets make the series 2-0 first.
- Then Heat make it 2-2.

I agree with you. They don't lose two games in a row.
Jokic will definitely do something, he brought the team here and he will win for the championship.
The only problem with the Denver Nuggets is last quarter, they are not scoring in the last quarter.

But we both know that having that kind of stats is certainly not enough to keep the team afloat or even win a chip at the end of this series, after all, it should be a team effort and that will be a very big factor for a team to win. The Miami Heat might not have that kind of stats or did have an impressive performance individually but they did played the game as a team and that was the reason why they overcome the Nuggets lead and tied the series.
Always expect the unexpected especially in this kind of scenario where both teams are underrated and highly unpredictable. They shouldn't be here playing in the Finals if they are not that good.

Knowing Erik Spoistra, one would expect Miami to play much better in the second game, but I must admit that the result of the game is a big surprise for me. Another thing is that Joker could not count on the support of partners in this match as in the first match, hence he focused more on scoring points than assisting his colleagues. Miami's close to 50% 3pt field goals is unlikely to happen again in these Finals either.

I was glad to win my bet for the evening, which was the Miami Heat + 10.5. I was a bit surprised that the Heat actually won. It was clear they were trying some new things out on offense and it worked out for them to get them the win and even up the series as they head back to Miami. Definitely makes things more interesting.
Strus, who was scoreless in game 1, stepped up and scored 14 points in this game. It was his 3-point shooting in the 1st quarter that gave the Heat the energy they needed to win the game. Gabe Vincent was also exceptional, contributing 23 points. Maybe in the next game, Martin will wake up and have an MVP-worthy performance. Imagine if all three of them have decent performances.
In game 3, the Heat are slight favorites, and I think they'll be ahead in the series after game 3.
Let's see about that but I do think there is a good chance because they are now approaching towards Miami for the games 3 and 4.
I'm a Heat fan but I cannot just disregard the Nuggets for being exceptional and unpredictable in the playoffs too as they also had a good run before they arrived in the Finals, just like what the Heat did. I surely hope that the Heat can somehow duplicate the performance they did last night where they overcame the Nuggets, finally.

Great job, in getting the underdog, I was really not expecting that to happen because the Denver Nuggets was really that great of a team for sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers but the Miami Heat have brought the unexpected to be a reality, Jimmy Butler's words have inspired the team in doing what is best and by looking at their defense they are doing a zone defense and letting Nikola Jokic the one to let him shoot the ball, while the other players of the Nuggets will always be in a double team, I think this will surely seal the Joker in creating a play,
Congratulations to those who won the bet in this second game, it was a surprise but it became fun so the next games will be even more exciting to look forward to, bets on the money line on Denver is no longer a guarantee of profit so the third game the odds for Denver will be better, I hope so.
Bet when the game is running, over 30.5 on Jokic @1.91 and Over 106.5 on Denver @1.83, and thought the second bet would lose as Denver had a dip in points scoring in Q4 but it ended up all green.

This is really an exciting final in my opinion, and you are right I was really excited I want to watch the next game now but unfortunately they need a break and the next game will be on June 08, I am excited in what play the Denver Nuggets will answer the Miami Heat in their next game and if they can stop or penetrate the zone defense of the Miami Heat,
The adjustment that I could see is for Jimmy Butler to trust his teammates. He doesn't need to be on guard with Jamal Murray, stick with Gordon because no Heat player had stopped him in Game 1 from being aggressive beneath the paint. Let Caleb Martin take care of Murray one-on-one and Butler should help in faking a double team against Jokic just to confuse their play.
Every detail of the game will be crucial here for the Miami Heat, small things can be big in the long run, creating stops and converting it will matter somewhere in the 4th quarter. Every little detail that can be fixed should be done early. Denver Nuggets will not joke around although they have the Joker.
Jimmy Butler should know what to do because he already faced one of the elite teams the Lakers in the Finals bubble.
The question is when do Finals Jimmy Buckets will come out? He didn't touch the Conference Champion Trophy for a reason, he wants the bigger one but it won't happen if he will not give his all.
I am going for Denver Nuggets -8.5.
Good luck everyone.
I was surprised by the adjustment of the Miami Heat and how they managed to win against the Denver Nuggets is just amazing Erik Spoelstra really did something great with the gameplay of the Miami Heat, the Zone defense was very effective for the Nuggets and they surely let Nikola Jokic be the one man Scoring but they didn't let him make crucial Passes so instead of being the playmaker Jokic is a 1 man Scorer Scoring 41 points while his teammates didn't make more than 20 points for this game the and so the Miami Heat have sealed the Denver Nuggets, other players while the Miami Heat have managed to make a great play for game 2,
I have my doubts about that. I believe the spread will not change for the Nuggets, and they will still be favored by at least -8 points at home. We've seen a similar situation with the Boston Celtics when they were down 3-1 in game 5, yet they remained heavy favorites. The Heat, despite being considered underdogs by the public, have consistently defied the odds by winning games that people thought they couldn't. So, in all honesty, I believe the most profitable bet here would be to wager on Miami on the road, especially considering the attractive moneyline odds.
Well, I think you are right, I was never a fan of these two teams and I want to bet to win that could be a great time to get my bet on the team that is an underdog for this game, If the Miami Heat remain as the underdog for game 3 because of their great performance I will surely wager for them, but if the Nuggets would be the underdog for game 3 I will wager my bet for the Denver Nuggets I guess the Nuggets will surely have an answer for the next game, but will surely bet whoever the underdog would be,
Result of my pick today,
Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat SCORE 108 - 111 - LOST
Now, we could expect lesser spreads than the first 2 games even if this series goes back to Denver. I don't really like the -8 to -10 options, I was just forced to take it as the money line is not really that profitable. 
Suddenly, the game became unpredictable because of what happened tonight. What do you guys predict on Game 3? Are the Nuggets stealing one or the Miami protecting their home? It's not that easy to analyze it anymore.
