The NBA playoffs have been going on since Apr. 16-17 in both the Eastern and Western Conferences. The Denver Nuggets emerged as the West champions after eliminating the LA Lakers in just four games. In the East, the conference finals took the full route with the Miami Heat eventually outlasting the Boston Celtics in seven games.
A ton has already happened in this year’s postseason. Both the Heat and the Nuggets had to survive three grueling rounds to reach the finals.
The hottest actions, though, are still to come as the playoffs will finally showcase the best of both conferences. Basketball fans without cable can still enjoy the action by using any of the aforementioned options.
The Denver Nuggets are favored to win the 2023 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat
ESPN has given the Denver Nuggets 89% of winning the NBA Finals. The Miami Heat only had a 3% chance of beating the Boston Celtics but toppled the previous East champs in the NBA playoffs.
Denver is -400 to win the series while Miami is +400. The championship, though, is not won on paper. The Heat have proven that throughout the NBA playoffs.
Miami was the eighth-seeded team who had to survive two play-in games to enter the playoffs. They’ve eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks, owners of the best regular season record this season, the New York Knicks and the Celtics.
Being underdogs is nothing new to them and they have even thrived under such roles. They will relish this status against the Nuggets.
