Nuggets vs. Heat: Best bets for NBA Finals Game 4
Some of the best bets for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
1. Nuggets (-3.5, -108) at Heat: Denver is on a mission after the tough Game 2. The Nuggets get both games in Miami.
2. Michael Porter Jr. over 1.5 threes (-170): He is too good of a shooter to stay this cold for this long. Game 4 he breaks out a little bit.
3. Nikola Jokic triple double/Nuggets win (+162): Again, this seems to be a winning formula for the Nuggets
