This is my opinion on game one Denver has thrived in series openers. Timberwolves by 29, Suns by 18 & Lakers by 6, & they blew a 21 point 2nd half lead in that one. Maybe it’s the time it takes to adjust to the altitude.

30-18 at home ATS this season overall & own the 2nd best margin at home +3.7 from the spread. When playing at home Denver ranks 5th in defensive efficiency. They are rested & conditioned don‘t feel like they will be rusty.

Game 1 probably not gonna touch. Denver has been ready to go at the beginning of series

I view Game 2 as the game Heat are more likely to steal. Lakers kind of had it in Game 2 of the WCF but found way to choke it away, which kind of changed the whole series. I see that as the game Miami adjusts in, and hopefully is able to close the deal in a close game

Same perspective here going back 1-1 to South Beach.

you don't adjust in 2-3 days here.

10 days off for nuggets is unchartered territory.

Herro back mid series will be interesting

I’m holding a ticket from the start of last series for the Heat so I think & want the Heat to win, just think game 1 will be an anomaly. I was betting on Celtics game 4 & 5 last series even though had my future bet on the Heat.
