In its 2022/23 season, the NBA Finals are in full swing, and we have enjoyed three truly spectacular games between Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets.
For now, the Nuggets lead the series 2-1 thanks to a spectacular performance by their star player, Nikola Jokic, in the third game of the series played in Miami. However, the Heat have also shown great quality throughout the series, especially from their leading scorer, Jimmy Butler.
After winning Game 2 of the Finals at the Ball Arena in Denver, the Miami Heat confidently entered Game 3 of the series at home. However, Denver got an impressive performance from Jokic and Jamal Murray, who led the team to a comfortable 109-94 victory.
Can Miami tie the series 2-2 and go to Denver to try to win the Finals? Or will Denver put Butler and the Heat in check to clinch the series at home? We don’t know what will happen, of that there is no doubt. However, please keep reading to see our prediction for Game 4 of the Finals.

Where can I watch it?
Why Bet on Miami Heat?
The Miami Heat seem to have their backs against the wall, or at least that’s what we were led to believe after their last home game. The Heat depends greatly on what Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo do every game. However, they have a bigger problem: Nikola Jokic.
If the Heat wants to take advantage of their home-court status to even the series 2-2 and have a chance to return home to play Game 6, they must slow down Jokic in Game 4. The Serbian is Denver’s lethal weapon, and if they can’t nullify him, it will be extremely difficult for them to get the win.
In addition, Miami needs Jimmy Butler to get a little more involved in the game. While he is the team’s leading scorer, the quintet needs him to help with assists and rebounds every game.
Why Bet on Denver Nuggets?
The Denver Nuggets, meanwhile, are in phenomenal form, but we certainly can’t overlook the high level of play from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray in this Finals series. Both players have been Denver’s cornerstones for their two wins in these NBA Finals.
Jokic is averaging 33.3 points per game and is coming off a spectacular triple-double in Game 3 with 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. However, Jamal Murray is no slouch, as the American point guard also recorded a triple-double with 34 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.
If this pair of players continue at this level of play, there is no doubt that the Heat will have to dance with the ugly in the remainder of the final series.
Final Betting Analysis: Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets
The Heat comes into this second game at home to return the blow received in the third game of the series.
However, in addition to solving the offensive problems they have shown recently, they will have to put up a solid defense to prevent Jokic from continuing to do his thing on the court.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Denver Nuggets at -135 while Miami Heat is at +110.
It will be a high-voltage game between two spectacular teams; there is no doubt about that. However, we predict it will be a comfortable win for the Denver Nuggets this time.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Denver Nuggets. For example, if you put $100 into Nuggets at -135, you’ll see a $74.07 win with a total payout of $174.07.
