Denver has played Miami twice this season. Denver won the first meeting 124-119 on December 30. Tyler Herro (26) led the Heat and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (20) led the Nuggets. High-scoring, high-performance shootout.
Two months and February 13 passed before the next regular season game. Nikola Jokic led Denver to another one-point win after Heat starters were injured. The Serbian international had 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Denver returns to the NBA Finals after 1993. They’ve never moved past the Conference Finals before.
The top seeded Nuggets are the favorites. All-stars Nikola Jovic, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Michael Porter Jr. Miami Heat will fight hard.
The Heat’s championship run proved difficult. Like the Boston Celtics last year, they had to grind out victories. If Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin, and Bam Adebayo can gel, Miami can challenge Denver.
