Heat have stolen home court advantage after taking one in Denver

I know some already took a shot before the series, but anyone see value in them at +240, or will the Nuggets steal one right back in game 3?

There’s definitely value given they probably should have been like +170 to start the series

I took Heat for a buck at +600 before game 2.I think Denver wins series 2 out of 3 times, which means theres still some value at +240 still.Heat is mentally the tougher team.Was surprised Love dnp in series opener.Minute for minute Love is a better Bball player than Gordon, problem is Love cannot play big minutes.Gordon far superior athelete, but Love even past his prime is the better Hooper.This is my HOF series for LOVE and LOWRY, Heat win the title, those guys go to HOF, maybe they should anyways, but they beat Denver, who really looked like the best team to me this year, send those two guys directly to Springfield.Because if Heat do win it, those guys are going to have to play well to get it done.GO HEAT!!

I don't think Heat can win it... with or without some help....
Herro is rumored to be set to return for Game 3 versus the Denver Nuggets. The game will be Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.

However, ESPN reporter Ros Gold-Unwude provided a concerning update Monday morning. She said Herro told her he has experienced soreness and swelling in his right hand and can feel it when he’s making his follow-through shooting motion.

“He also shared his consideration of not wanting to come back and mess up the rhythm of the team,” Gold-Onwude said.

How can Heat not win it? lol

They just won! They have home court

People underestimate the Heat so much, it's crazy

I don't think home court means to much as we've seen throughout the playoffs

Would rather have it than not though

Denver 100% can win in Miami (and they'll probably win 1 of the next 2), but they are still a much better team at home overall

Don't allow Miami to shoot 50 percent from 3. Try to get Bam in foul trouble---they have absolutely NOTHING behind him that is playable.

They kind of go hand in hand

If Jimmy and Bam are on the court, Miami is going to get clean looks from 3 this series. So then it just becomes a matter of how well their roles guys are shooting that particular night

Zeller is probably unplayable lol, but Heat can actually match with Nuggets in terms with depth. Heat are the deeper team with Herro tbh

Miami has been outplayed in every quarter except the 4th. Denver needs to figure out how to close out these games and this series is over if they do.

Take a stab at what the new series price will be if Miami takes the next game

I'm guessing Denver will probably still be favored like -125

This has actually been true all play-offs.

Miami is a negative point differential every quarter of the play-offs that isn't the 4th.

Not sure, but it will be a good price on Miami.

Heat should be favored in Game 3, even if slightly. Buzz saw spot, which they have been very successful in

Bottom line, there is always going to be value on Miami going forward in the series

I know it's easy to make fun of, but Heat got the rotation right by putting Love back in the starting lineup and allowing Butler to focus in on Murray.

Make Jokic try to score primarily, and the Heat will win this series.

Teams taking their foot off the pedal or all credit to Miami?
Has to be a touch of both.

Can't see how this Miami ever thinks they are good enough to turn it off and on.

With that said...

It's still the play-offs and one would hope that even the more talented team could still relatively focused to end it.

I was pretty surprised Denver let Miami off the mate when both up 15 and than up 8 going into 4th. Miami has obviously done enough to this point to prove they aren't a team to be taken lightly.
