Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat Game 2 Score

As mentioned, the Heat were able to steal Game 2 on the road in Denver to even up the series. After the Nuggets’ 104-93 win in Game 1, it looked as though Miami would have trouble winning in Mile High at all. However, they came back in a big way with a 111-108 win on Sunday night. 

They’ll be back on the court down in South Beach at 8:30 PM ET on Wednesday, June 7, which is why we’re here with our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay.

NBA Finals Game 3 Same Game Parlay Leg 1: Heat +2.5

Let’s tip off our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay with a focus on the home team. Game 3 sees the series head down to Miami, which is why the Heat aren’t nearly as heavy as an underdog. While they still aren’t favored to win, they’ve been proving oddsmakers wrong nearly every game in the 2023 playoffs.

They’ve won by near double-digit margins in games this postseason while being underdogs of 7.5 points or more, truly solidifying this Cinderella run. They may be an eight seed, but they’ve clearly proven they shouldn’t be doubted. The Nuggets have cruised through teams on their way to the 2023 NBA Finals, but they haven’t had to do much work on the road.

Keep in mind that the Heat were 8.5-point underdogs in Game 2, and not only covered on the road, but won the game outright. That’s exactly what they did in Game 7 against the Boston Celtics to get here as well. Jimmy Butler and the Heat were 7.5-point underdogs, only to win the game outright by 19 points.

Similarly, their most recent home game was Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. They were again 2.5-point underdogs. While they didn’t pull off the outright upset, they still covered the point spread in a 104-103 loss. So, whether they win Game 3 or not, we’re still confident making the first leg of our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay on Miami +2.5 (-112 at FanDuel Sportsbook).

Target Max Strus Over 9.5 Points for the Second Leg of Our Nuggets vs. Heat SGP

The next leg of our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay continues our focus on Miami. However, it’s not the superstar you’d likely expect in Jimmy Butler. Instead, we’re putting our trust in Max Strus.

There’s no denying he hasn’t been the most consistent piece for Miami, but when the Heat have looked their best, it’s when Strus has performed. He’s coming off a 14-point performance in the Game 2 win and is averaging exactly 10 points in the 2023 NBA playoffs. Similarly, in Miam’s three home games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Strus scored 10, 9 and 10 points.

However, he was far more dominant in the series prior, scoring at least 14 points in every game but one. We expect him to take advantage of his matchup against the Nuggets just like he did in the regular season. In the Heat’s two games against Denver, Strus scored 19 and 23 points. With that in mind, the second leg of our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay is on Strus to go over 9.5 points (-115 at FanDuel Sportsbook).

Michael Porter Jr. Over 7.5 Rebounds is Our Final NBA Finals Game 3 SGP Leg

Finally, let’s round out our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay by giving some love to Denver. Much like we didn’t target Butler for Miami, we’re not even going with Nikola Jokic for our Nuggets player.

Outside of Jokic and Jamal Murray, a bit of an unsung hero for the Nuggets in the 2023 NBA playoffs has been Michael Porter Jr. He and Aaron Gordon are taxed with doing the dirty work, but we can use that to our advantage of piecing together a very profitable Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay.

Porter Jr. is averaging 8.2 rebounds per game this postseason, and while he had just six in Game 2, he was far more dominant with 13 in Game 1. Like Strus was great in the Eastern Conference Finals, Porter Jr. was the same in the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.

In those four games, he recorded rebound totals of 10, three separate times, and seven in the other. We believe he can have similar performances with the focus continuing to be on Jokic, and rightfully so. If the Heat are going to keep the Nuggets in check, they’ll have to key on the big man, which should leave Porter Jr. a bit more open to do his work down low.

Therefore, the final leg of our Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay is on Porter Jr. to record over 7.5 rebounds (-111 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
