Since the NBA regular season ended almost two months ago, the Miami Heat made the Milwaukee Bucks look bad, pretty easily got past the New York Knicks and won three road games in the Eastern Conference finals to eliminate the Boston Celtics.
This is not a Heat team that will back down against anyone. That's why the odds for Game 1 of the NBA Finals are a bit curious.
The Heat are an 8.5-point underdog at BetMGM against the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have played very well this postseason and it's nice to see them finally getting their just due.
