The NBA Finals are shifting to Miami. The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat will both look to get a 2-1 series lead in the series.
Analysis:
The Miami Heat have shocked the entire world after a huge upset victory in Game 2. Butler has been averaging 27.3 points in each playoff game, but has been a little lackluster in these finals. I say that this will end today. Butler will be able to put up 30+ points, but I don't know if that will be enough to get them a 2-1 series lead. They will play host to the Denver Nuggets and Nikola Jokic. Jokic is averaging a triple-double in the playoffs, and put up an electric 41 point performance in Game 2, despite the loss. I think that Jamal Murray is going to catch fire tonight, and take a lot of the pressure off of Jokic. With Tyler Hero missing Game 3, I wouldn't be surprised if this Game gets a bit out of hand, with Denver blowing the Heat out. It will be up to Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent and Bam Adebayo alongside Jimmy Butler to keep that from happening.
Injuries:
Tyler Hero will again miss a game, as his status for Game 5 is unknown. Cody Zeller is a Game-Time decision for the Heat.
Score Prediction:
Nuggets 109 Heat 96
