Daily News | Where the NBA Finals odds stand after Miami’s comeback win in Denver
Heat +230
Denver remains a big favorite, but the Nuggets entered Game 2 as a nine-point favorite for the game and a much larger favorite to win the series. But the Heat, who are getting just 17 points per game from Jimmy Butler so far, are right back in the series and did what they needed to do: Win a game in Denver.
Miami struggled from three-point range in Game 1, but bounced back in a big way Sunday, going 17-for-35 from beyond the arc. The Nuggets, meanwhile, made just 11 of their 28 three-point attempts . There’s more to it, of course, but that was the difference in Game 2. And if Miami can replicate that shooting performance a few more times, it could easily win a title.
