31 of the 37 expert predictions we found are picking the Denver Nuggets to win the 2023 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat. 

Scoreboard Page: Lakers-Celtics in a fight for 18 was right there and we got Miami vs. Denver? We love it – and never want to hear about the fix being in for TV ratings again. Besides, who isn’t excited about the MVP vs. Playoff Jimmy? While a newcomer champion like the Nuggets would be welcomed, we’re going against the grain and calling for the Heat in 6. The road was tougher and the experience is greater. Please note: When we pick a Warriors series, we can’t miss, but Miami has given us trouble – and we’re not talking about the nightlife. So take our pick with a grain of … sand?
