Randy’s Pick
The Denver Nuggets once again imposed their will with their size in game 3 and have looked like the better team through much of this series. They should be favored. With that said, the Heat has bounced back every time you're ready to count them out this season. Also, the Heat still thrives in the underdog role, especially in the playoffs, as they've covered 11 of their last 15 playoff games as an underdog. Nine of those 11 covers were outright victories. Must win game for the Heat, as they can't go down 1-3 and expect to truly win this series. Give me the points.
