Nuggets favored in NBA Finals; Jokic -125 to average triple-double

The Denver Nuggets, who will be making their first appearance in the NBA Finals, were installed as -360 favorites over the Miami Heat by Caesars Sportsbook on Monday night.

Denver also opened as an 8-point home favorite in Game 1 on Thursday, with an over/under of 219.

The Heat are only the second 8-seed to capture a conference championship, and just the third team to win its first three series as an underdog. Miami has racked up a 13-5 postseason record against the spread, winning a record-tying nine games outright as an underdog.
