The NBA Finals are 1 Game away from being over. If the Denver Nuggets are able to beat the Miami Heat in this Game 5, the Finals will be over. Nikola Jokic has been insanely productive in these Finals, and like the other parts of the playoffs, Jamal Murray has also stepped up, and been dominant. On the other side, Jimmy Butler has not been himself in the NBA Finals, and the Heat will need him to step up today. In the one game that the Heat beat the Nuggets, they scored over 100 points, in all the other games, they were under the magic number of 100. They lost all of those games. I think that if Miami can get somebody other than Butler to get 20+ points, and Jimmy has 30+ himself, the Heat could force a Game 6 back in Miami.
Injury Update:
Tyler Hero will finally be active for Game 5. Nobody is inactive for today, but Jokic rolled his ankle early in Game 4. Watch out for that to be an issue.
Score Prediction:
Heat 96 Nuggets 107
