If the Heat are able to take Game 3, expect the bettings odds to flip in favor of the Heat for the rest of the series. Going up 2-1 with a chance to go up 3-1 at home will almost certainly make the Heat favorites for the rest of the NBA Finals.

Although the lines dipped in favor of the Heat, the Nuggets still being favorites makes sense. They do look like the better team and will just have to play as hard as their opponents in order to win it all. Unfortunately for them, the Heat continually prove they know how to work harder than anybody and will push the Nuggets to the brink in this series.
