The Nuggets emerged victorious in the Western Conference at the end of the regular season. During the week off, the team's medical staff got all the injured players back on their feet. The team's leader in all three major categories, Jokic, is healthy and eager to compete.

Miami Heat

The Miami Heat finished seventh in the Eastern Conference during the regular season and secured a spot in the main playoff bracket through the play-in tournament. The team from Florida sensationally eliminated the second-placed Boston Celtics (4-3) in the previous round. In the decisive match on May 30th, coached by Erik Spoelstra, they achieved a 103-84 victory. Caleb Martin (26 points, ten rebounds) and Bam Adebayo (12 points, ten rebounds) recorded double-doubles. Jimmy Butler scored 28 points.

Prediction

Bookmakers' analysts consider the Denver Nuggets the clear favorites for the upcoming match, and it's worth agreeing with them. Mike Malone's team has gained momentum and convincingly defeated their opponents in recent games. The Nuggets, playing at home, should start the final series with a confident victory.

Our prediction is a win for the Denver Nuggets with a handicap of -7.5 points at odds of 1.76.

Both teams have been playing cautiously in their recent cup stage matches. Defense of their own basket takes priority. In two out of the last three games, the total score did not exceed 215 points. The Nuggets, on average, score 119 points in home matches, while the Miami Heat score 107 points on the road. The game is expected to be low-scoring.

Our prediction is a total score of less than 220.5 points, including overtime, at odds of 1.78.
