1. HEAT AT NUGGETS (-9, -106) IN GAME 1: Denver has been great in Game 1s.

That trend continues against a tired Miami team.

2. NUGGETS OVER HEAT IN 5 GAMES (+210): This seems to be a very popular pick and would have Denver closing it out at home.

3. JAMAL MURRAY TO WIN NBA FINALS MVP (+1200): Nikola Jokic is the favorite, but what if the Denver guard goes off?

It is always possible.

4. JIMMY BUTLER UNDER 27.5 POINTS IN GAME 1 (-115): Aaron Gordon will have the task of slowing down the star guard.

Gordon will do a good job in Game 1.

5. JOKIC OVER 1.5 THREES IN GAME 1 (+112): The star center will probably get some open looks and hit them.

Chris Schmaedeke’s Best Bets record ATS: 143-128
