It’s time for Game 2 in the NBA Finals.
The Miami Heat have put together an incredible playoff. The journey included winning the 8th seed in the Play-In. The Heat defeated the East’s top-seeded team the Milwaukee Bucks. After that, Miami ran through the Knicks and escaped the Celtics to make the NBA Finals.
But it seems the magic will end against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals. The Heat were completely outmatched in Game 1.
What will happen in Game 2?
I’ve got some PrizePicks player props to consider for tonight’s Game 2.
Like every PrizePicks article, we’ll give out our four-player props from PrizePicks that you can pair to have a four-leg Entry Power Play. A tw0-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -137 for each prop. A three-leg Entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -141.
However, a four-leg entry Power Play will give you implied odds of -128 for each bet. Getting -128 on the same prop is better than getting -137 or -141. So we’ll stick to four-leg entries moving forward.
Remember that a Flex play can still win if one pick misses, but you’d get lower payouts.

Saturday’s Best PrizePicks Player Predictions
Here are my favorite PrizePicks props for Saturday.
Gabe Vincent Over 13 Points
I know Tyler Herro is questionable for tonight’s game, but it’s unlikely he plays. That should help keep Gabe Vincent’s numbers up.
Vincent shot 7-for-14 from the field in Game 1 of the Finals. He added 19 points and knocked down 5-for-10 from three. He was the only guard shooting the ball at a high level in Game 1, so you know he will get his minutes, and the confidence is up after Thursday’s performance.
Bam Adebayo wasn’t the most efficient scorer for the Heat in Game 1. But he took 25 shots, hit 52% from the field, and finished with 26 points in Game 1.
That volume alone makes me want to take Adebayo to score at least 19 points in tonight’s game. The ball was in his hands, as he added five assists and 13 rebounds.
And the best part about all of this? The Nuggets don’t need to make adjustments on Adebayo. They played solid defense elsewhere and earned a double-digit win anyway.
I think we all disrespected Jamal Murray. It’s the same way we’ve all disrespected Nikola Jokic’s game. Murray played 44 minutes in Game 1 and shot 11-for-22 from the field. He finished with 26 points but only hit 2-for-7 from three. Murray also saw the foul line just once in Game 1.
Typically, Murray will get to the line more. In the previous series, he also shot over 40% from downtown against the Lakers. If he gets 20+ shots, there’s a very solid chance he’ll end up with at least 27 points. He’s hit this line in three of his last five games.
Jimmy Butler only knocked down six shots in Game 1. He attempted only 14 shots and scored 13 points. That’s not what you want to see out of your star player.
Butler isn’t a threat from downtown and struggled to find good looks inside the paint. He’s hit 27 or more points in just four of his last six games and doesn’t mind doing the dirty work instead of being the top-scoring option.
