5 minNBA Finals best bets: Best player prop bets for Heat vs. Nuggets Game 1
The Miami Heat almost collapsed in a seven-game series against the Boston Celtics. However, the Heat survived in Game 7 and earned an NBA Finals appearance against the Denver Nuggets.
Meanwhile, the Nuggets patiently waited to see who they'd play. The Nuggets swept the Los Angeles Lakers in four games in the Western Conference Finals.
Some believe that the Nuggets could show rust. Others think the Heat will be tired heading into a new series after playing seven tough games against the Celtics.
But I think all of that is overblown. I'm just going to look at the stats and make educated predictions.
Here are some player props for tonight's NBA Finals matchup between the Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets.

Heat vs. Nuggets Player Prop Picks
Caleb Martin Over 15.5 Points -120 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Caleb Martin has now solidified himself as the third-best scoring option for the Heat heading into the NBA Finals.
Martin didn't just average 19.3 points per game for the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. He shot over 60% from the field and hit nearly 49% from downtown on 6.4 attempts from three per game.
He even attempted 12.6 shots per game in the series and still shot over 60% from the field. Martin's going to be a problem for the Nuggets.
Kyle Lowry Over 2.5 Rebounds -150 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Kyle Lowry has shown up for the Heat. He's a veteran who already has a championship. In Game 7 against the Celtics, he added seven rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes.
Lowry has attempted no more than six shots in his last three games. He's taking a backseat from scoring and doing the dirty work.
The veteran earned four rebounds per game against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. I'll gladly take him to get at least three tonight.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 1.5 Threes -162 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added at least two threes in every game against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. He's also added at least two threes in five straight games and averaged nearly seven threes per game against the Lakers in Denver's last series.
He's hit this line in seven of his last ten games and earned 39 minutes in Game 4 against the Lakers. If he's on the floor for 35 minutes, you can expect him to take around seven threes. He just needs to make two.
