Prediction for Game 3

The NBA Finals are a hard nut to crack and betting on these games is always a game within itself.

Game 2 was a good example of that.

The Heat not only covered in Game 2, there were stretches where it looked like the 8.5 point underdogs were going to win by 10+ points.

Jimmy Butler almost bagged a double-double, notching 9 assists in the huge win. He was paramount down the stretch, hitting big shots and always seems to make the right play when the Heat need it most.

But the story this entire playoffs for the Heat has been the play of their ‘role players’ to help lead in whatever way necessary to simply get the job done and lead to some massive wins.

Gabe Vincent was awesome in Game 2, dropping 23 points and fellow guard Max Strus also responded after a poor Game 1 performance, hitting 4 3’s and looked aggressive all night long.

I think, based on what I have watched, the Heat are going to continue to run their entire offense through Jimmy Butler and now with 2 games back at home in Miami, the Heat have a chance to put even more pressure on the top seed Nuggets.

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray were both fantastic in game 1 and game 2 for Denver, and now they will have to continue to lead this Nuggets team on the road in Game 3 and 4.

Best Bet for Game 3

Overall, I like the Heat to carry the momentum from Game 2 into Game 3 and keep this game close and possibly even take a 2-1 lead in the series back at home.

The money line is very enticing and is worth a sprinkle but give me the points on the Heat. This game could come down to the last basket and I am happy taking the 2.5 points.

This is my favorite play in this game by far.

I have played this prop every game so far in the Finals and it cashed in Game 1 and Game 2. So we are going straight back.

Butler has 7+ assists in 3 of his last 4 games and as I mentioned before, the Heat understand that their best chance to win is allowing Jimmy to have the controls all game long.

He consistently makes the right pass and if the Heat shooters, like Vincent, Strus and Robinson are knocking down their shots, Jimmy will flirt with a double double once again.

Lastly, Butler has 7+ assists in 5 straight games against the Nuggets and I think he makes it 6 straight in Game 3.
