Miami Heat ML (+120)
Game 2 was all about shooting and scoring for Miami as they bounced back from the defeat in the series opener in a big way. The Heat finished shooting the three-ball at 49% in the win, which means they're now shooting 48% in their last 5 postseason wins compared to just 35% in their last 4 losses. That's not all though, they were also able to hold Nikola Jokic to just 4 assists which was quite the difference from Game 1 where he had 14 of them. The Heat forced Jokic to dominate by scoring the ball as he racked up 41 points, but that didn't work out for Denver and now they are 0-4 when their MVP goes for 40+ points. With the series now moving to Miami for the next 2 games, I'm giving Miami a slight edge despite the oddsmakers making them underdogs for Game 3. This team has covered the spread in 7 of 9 home games and you just know the crowd will carry them in the first home game of this series. In their last 8 home games on a Wednesday the Heat are 6-2 SU, with role players playing a lot better at home than on the road I feel like they'll have enough to squeeze out a win here and take a 2-1 series lead.
