NBA Finals: Heat and Nuggets square-off in Game 3
The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets will play Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Miami today. The series is tied at 1-1, and both teams are looking to take the lead in what has become a best-of-five series. Although the Heat took the home-court advantage from the Nuggets in Game 2, the Nuggets are still considered by many as the favourites to win it all.
Key players to watch
Jimmy Butler’s dominant offensive performance has been missing in the playoffs so far, but his defense on the Nuggets’ Jamal Murray can potentially swing the momentum in favour of the Heat. The Heat’s 3-point shooting, led by Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro, has been instrumental in their playoff run, and they are expected to continue their good form. On the Nuggets side, Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray are the key players to watch out for.
Game 3: Preview and Predictions
The game is expected to be much closer than the previous two. The Nuggets are expected to bounce back from their Game 2 loss and are likely to play a much tighter game. The Heat, on the other hand, will try to continue their momentum and take the series lead. The absence of Will Barton and P.J. Dozier due to injury will hurt the Nuggets, but they still have the depth to compete.
Our prediction is that the Heat will win Game 3, but it won’t be easy. They will need to play solid defense and continue their good shooting to edge out the Nuggets.
How to watch
The game will be broadcasted live on ABC at 8:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday. For those who do not have access to the television broadcast, it can be streamed live on NBA League Pass.
Conclusion
The NBA Finals have been exciting so far, with both teams matching up well against each other. It will be interesting to see how each team adjusts their game plan to try and gain an advantage in the series. Fans can expect another intense battle in Game 3 as neither team will want to give the other an inch in their quest for the championship.
