An excellent reference point for the Colorado team is the Serbian Nikola Jokic, twice named regular season MVP and led his franchise to the first final in its history. He achieved this by signing eight triple-doubles in 15 games, with an average of 29.9 points, 13.2 rebounds and 10.1 assists.
One of the reasons for the favoritism of his Nuggets is the presence of the pig factor in favor, because until now were unresolvable at the Ball Arena in Denver, where they do not know defeats in these “playoffs”. However, the Heat have already been able to leave other opponents behind in decisive away games.
The big surprise this season, and one of the biggest in NBA history, was the presence in this Finals of the team coached by Eric Spelstra. No wonder he agreed to the playoffs in last play-in game and since then she has beaten the two best teams of the year in the East, Bucks (4-1) and Celtics (4-3) and New York Knicks (4-2).

Much of the blame for a team with no great stars contending for the title lies with jimmy Butler, that another year turned on the “clutch” mode, over 28.5 points on averages and with cult performances. So it was when he hit 56 in the fourth game of the series against bucks, the fourth-best record in NBA postseason history.
In addition to Butler, “a priori” an excellent reference point for the Florida team is a support Bam Adebayowhich shows inconsistent performancebut the surprise was the appearance Caleb Martin, a 2019 undrafted player who came as a surprise after averaging over 19 points in the previous series.

Denver faces the possibility of his first ring; Bye, Miami is more than used to these occasions have already played in the 2020 final, losing to lakers, whereas last year he was in just one point away from qualifying against the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Finals.
In addition to purely sporting rivalry, between these two franchises there is a so-called.version from 2021When Jokic attacked Markiff Morris; which caused a confrontation with Butler and his companions. Now, this battle will live in another part, which can be extended until June 18th. if they are needed seven games.
game 1 final series starts this Thursday at 6:30 p.m., Central Mexico time, at home Nuggets.
