NBA Finals Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions: Game 5 (Heat vs. Nuggets)

by |

It’s been a grind all year in the NBA! It’s been a long season with awesome profits, but it’s still sad to think that tonight could be the final NBA game of the season.

The Denver Nuggets lead the Miami Heat 3-1 in the NBA Finals. They’ll have a home game tonight to finish the job against this overmatched Miami squad. The Heat have been an incredible story throughout the postseason, but no team has been more consistent than the Nuggets since the beginning of the year.

I’ve assembled a couple of same game parlays for tonight’s Game 5 of the NBA Finals. If it’s the last game of the NBA Finals, let’s finish off the season with a bang.

Miami Heat at Denver Nuggets

Parlay One:

Gabe Vincent has been the third-leading scorer on the Heat, but his line has dropped to 9.5 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. If the Heat are going to compete, Vincent needs to make shots. He played just 19 minutes in Game 4 and shot 1-for-6 from the field. He’s only scored nine points in the last two games combined.

However, prior to Game 4, he had two games with at least 19 points in these NBA Finals. The Heat won a game against the Nuggets when Vincent scored 23. Miami will need Vincent’s contributions, and when he starts draining shots, he’ll see more minutes.

Kevin Love played 18 minutes on Friday, going 4-for-6 from the field. He scored 12 points and played his part well. However, he’s had other games with just six points and missed a whole game due to a coach’s decision. Love hasn’t hit more than six points in six of his last seven games. Don’t ride the hype into tonight.

On the other hand, I’d buy into the Aaron Gordon hype. He’s shot 66.7% from the field in the NBA Finals and has averaged 10.5 shots per game. He just drained 3-for-4 from three and has been to the foul line in every game too. Gordon isn’t going to have an insane amount of volume shooting the ball game-to-game, but he’s been efficient enough that you can trust him.

Parlay Odds: +500

Parlay Two:

Bruce Brown has been money from downtown. He’s also been the X-factor for the Nuggets. He went 8-for-11 from the field in Game 4 and drained 3-of-5 from downtown. He’s hit at least one three in nine of his last ten games and has earned at least 27 minutes in three straight games for Denver.

Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon has earned 11 assists combined in his last two games for the Nuggets. He’s been filling up the box score and looks incredibly comfortable in his role. He’s not just in for his defense these days. He can practically do it all for the Nuggets and is now racking up assists.

Finally, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has hit at least three rebounds in nine of his last ten games. He’s on a streak of seven straight games with at least three rebounds. Caldwell-Pope also averages 34 minutes a night and has had at least 36 on the floor in three of four games in the NBA Finals.

Parlay Odds: +421
