Jokic Dominates Game 3
After an uncharacteristically sloppy performance in Game 2, Jokic responded with aplomb on Thursday. The two-time NBA MVP dropped 32 points, along with 21 rebounds and 10 assists for another monstrous triple-double.
Running-mate Jamal Murray also shrugged off a sluggish Game 2 with 32 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds in Game 3, finishing one board shy of his own triple double. Christian Braun (15 points) and Aaron Gordon also reached double figures for the Nuggets.
Nuggets vs Heat Series Results
| Game | Final Score | Moneyline Winner | ATS Winner | O/U Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | Nuggets 104-93 Heat | Nuggets (-350) | Nuggets (-9) | Under (219) |

| Game 3 | Nuggets 109-94 Heat | Nuggets (-151) | Nuggets (-3.5) | Under (214) |
Miami got a decent performance from their own superstar as Jimmy Butler posted 28 points, four assists, and two rebounds. But “Himmy” was the only member of the Heat who truly showed up on Wednesday night. Bam Adebayo finished the night with 22 points, but on an abysmal 7-20 shooting. No other Miami player finished with more than 10 points and, as a team, Miami ended the night just 34-92 from the field (37.0%).
The Heat were also savaged on the glass, ending the night with just 33 total rebounds compared to 58 for the Nuggets.
Expected Line Movement for Nuggets vs Heat Game 4
The point spread for Game 3 opened at Denver -1 and was bet up to Denver -3.5 by tipoff. There is a large contingent of big-time bettors squarely in Denver’s corner. But with this line opening at Denver -4, expect the line movement to head in the opposite direction this time.
