In their first ever game in the NBA Finals the Denver Nuggets host the Miami Heat at Ball Arena on Thursday night. Tip-off is at 8.30 ET on ABC and I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

Over 219.5 Total Points (-110)
It's really refreshing to see a projected total of 219 points for a Miami Heat game after the line was set at just 203.5 points for their Game 7 against Boston. These teams eclipsed 219 points in both games this regular season and in 5 of their last 7 meetings. Betting on the over returned a profit in the last 5 meetings, while the 3 most recent games saw an average of 231.2 points. We probably won't see that many points in the series opener, after all this is the playoffs and defense is being played.
