The NBA Finals Bets asks if Denver can finish off the Heat on Monday in Game 5. Miami could not make their early fourth quarter run stick as they dropped another home game to Denver. Now, the Nuggets possess their first chance to close out the NBA season. The question is can the Nuggets win that NBA Title? Bovada online betting sportsbook gives us some options for Monday night.
NBA Finals Bets generated some solid results on Friday night. So, Denver was figured to have another great effort from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. It did not quite work out that way. The rebounding edge was not quite there as Miami crashed the boards better. However, there was one consistency. Miami could not hit their three-point shots as Denver contested most of those with fervor once again. The Heat shot 32% (8-25) from beyond the arc.
Okay, Denver held Miami to under 100 points in Miami again. That was impressive and yet an easy wager to take a shot on. Naturally, the Nuggets game Over was lowered a hair and Denver also delivered there once more. Is it a time to rest on one’s laurels? That answer is yes and no. Ironically, the Nuggets did not and shots nearly 50% from the field and 50% from beyond the arc (14-28 overall).
So, Nikola Jokic did not need an all-world effort. Jokic looked kind of human, in foul trouble, and only managed 23 points on 8-19 shooting. Jokic missed several shots he normally would make. Naturally, depth helped save the day for Denver as Aaron Gordon went off for a team-high 27 points and missed only four shots on Friday shots. Gordon chipped in three baskets from three-point range in the Game 4 victory.
Denver upped the intensity in quarters 2 and 3 then weathered the fourth. Yes, the Heat missed shots but the assertion that Miami is a tired, banged up team is kind of accurate. Even that early run in the final stanza lacked something from the Heat. Denver was able to seize back momentum and keep their lead large enough not to truly worry much when the buzzer ended Game 4. It is why Denver is now a big moneyline favorite Monday night.
The NBA Finals Bets expect a swan song Monday night. Naturally, the props came in fast and furious. Be advised that this may be a time to bet smaller and smaller. NBA online prop bets take on a slightly smarter tact here. With the season potentially close to ending, one always has to look to the future. Bet with your head and not your heart in these final days.
At Vegas Betting, we kept pouring over so many choices for Game 4. Simply, the problem came down to which ones to place our winnings on. That’s correct. At this point of the playoffs, betting strategy dictates using tiny portions of the bankroll. With the Denver moneyline in the -375 to -450 range and the spread at nine points, the latter seems risky. However, a few dollars on Denver to win by ten or more does not break anyone’s bank.
For the record, we went looking for a prop for three-pointers attempted and could not find any worth betting. However, shop around. Maybe, something opens up because Denver did fire up three more shots from beyond the arc on Friday night (28-25). The difference was the Nuggets kept getting more open looks. It may be why looking into the prop for shooters like Jokic, Gordon, etc. may be worth some time.
Vegas NBA online betting sites offer some fun wrinkles for Monday night’s Game 5. NBA Finals Bets thought it might be okay to toss out some pizza money risks. Could Denver blow the doors off at some point during this game? It’s possible. Miami may try to press so hard early that they have no gas late. Denver going wire-to-wire comes in at +110. The largest lead at 18 by Denver rolls in at -122. Wire to wire could be fun.
NBA Finals Bets start saying attention K-Mart shoppers. Of course, Friday night proved to be another profitable night. Yes, the fourth win is the toughest but Denver’s depth and altitude advantage should swing things enough. One would love to be a fly on the wall in the Miami locker room. There feels like a bunch of players are banged up as that Boston series did a number on the Heat.
With the series odds swinging off value, take a few differing approaches for Game 5. Would this be the time to look at the Miami game over which is down to 99.5 points? See where the alternate numbers end up first. Do not jump right away. One would not be surprised to see it inch down a little along with the spread going upward.
Bonuses, specials, and props should be shopped with more scrutiny for Game 5. Again, the season may end. Some books are eager for that too. Do not fall into traps. Jokic to hit just two three’s is at +118. That will not last long. Trying the Jokic 30+ points and Denver win one more time may be worth it at +122.
Will this be the season finale Monday? It appears that way. If the NBA season ends, just think there are still NBA wagers to be had. Stay tuned.
