Prediction
Bookmakers' analysts consider the "Denver Nuggets" as the clear favorite in the fourth game of the series. It is reasonable to agree with them. It is evident that Mike Malone has finally found the right keys to unlock the defense of the Miami Heat. The Nuggets are more than capable of securing their second consecutive victory and increasing their lead in the final showdown. Our prediction is a victory for the "Denver Nuggets" with a handicap (-3.5) points at odds of 1.88. The games in the final series have been low-scoring. This is quite understandable as teams are playing with caution, focusing more on defense. The overall scoring efficiency has noticeably decreased in the playoffs. In the three games of the current series, the total score has not exceeded 220 points. It seems that once again, the players will not entertain the fans with high-scoring plays. Our prediction is a total score under 212.5 points, including overtime, at odds of 1.74. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.88. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
