Monday’s NBA Best Bets

Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets have been the better team this series, and that has shown with their 3-1 lead. That means they have the advantage tonight in about every aspect of the game. The Denver Nuggets have been winning in multiple ways and by plenty of points. Bettors can take advantage of that consistency tonight. 

Bet: Denver Nuggets -9 Points (-110)


These two teams have been grinding out games during this series. That has shown through their scoring totals. They have scored over 209 total points once during this series. Tonight I expect to see a similar playing style that we have seen throughout this series. That is tough defense and slow offense. 

Bet: Total Points Under 209 (-110)


Jimmy Butler has shown up during crucial moments throughout the playoffs for the Heat. I think Jimmy wants this game more than anyone. That will show through his scoring tonight. He will try to take over the game and keep the Miami Heat alive. Jimmy has plenty of betting value tonight with the championship on the line.

Bet: Jimmy Butler Over 26.5 Points (-110)
