Nuggets vs. Heat Player Prop Picks
Max Strus Over 7.5 Points -113 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick.
Max Strus single-handedly dominated in multiple games in the playoffs. But he's struggled recently, shooting just 16.1% from the field in the NBA Finals.
It really can't get any worse from here. Strus saw just 19 minutes and shot 0-for-4 from the field. He and Vincent need to show up for Miami to have a chance at winning tonight's game. Strus' confidence will be there from the get-go, and 7.5 points are too low for a guy like Strus.
Bruce Brown Over 11.5 Points -115 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick.
I don't want to be biased here.
Bruce Brown played 30 minutes and shot 8-for-11 from the field in Game 4, scoring 21 points. In the game prior, he added five points; in the game before that, Brown scored 11 points. And in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, he only added 10 points.
But he's still hit at least 12 points in six of his last ten games. He's also been one bucket short of this line multiple times but hasn't been far off. After Game 4, you can expect Brown to be more aggressive and continue his hot shooting.
Jamal Murray Under 5.5 Rebounds -136 is currently the best odds. Click here to see which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick.
Jamal Murray had a triple-double in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. But he's only averaged 5.8 rebounds per game, despite adding a 10-rebound game in garbage time in Game 3.
Murray has hit at least six threes in just 23% of games this season and has hit this line in only four of his last ten games. The point guard will get his assists and points, but the rebounds will scatter around with the bigs of the Nuggets, including Porter Jr., Nikola Jokic, and Aaron Gordon.
