I'm considering taking the handicap in game 1 because I'm afraid to bet on the ML. There's a chance that the Heat will cover the spread even if they lose, especially if the game is close. Jimmy Butler has been unstoppable, and not even Gordon could stop him. Jimmy is quick and knows how to pass the ball to his open teammates. I don't know what their specific strategy will be in game 1, but I'm confident that the Heat will always be competitive.
There is a huge portion for the odds on the Denver Nuggets well I guess it is a profitable bet for the Miami Heat if you want to risk and I think it is a huge risk, but because the Nuggets have swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the semi-finals, I think there is a huge advantage on that with the odds and I was right, with the odds going for the Nuggets, but as you have said the Heat will surely be very competitive in this game for sure, and I think they need it right now they need to establish the first win so the team morale will also heighten, but I think that the Miami Heat will struggle in this 1st game, 
Same here, If I'm going to bet on the Heat, if might be on the handicap, it's very hard to see how game 1 will turn out. If could be a blow out win by the Nuggets as the Heat is very tired from a grueling game 7 series with the Celtics.
Or the Heat will make the fight as close as possible with Jimmy and the rest of the gang.
But it's hard to see, the Nuggets is playing perfect against the Lakers, Jokic having good numbers that is comparable to the legend Wilt Chamberlain.
Both of you were not wrong it is really and another strategy is to not make a bet if you think that the game will be unpredictable then it is a good decision to always back out from betting I really think it is also a good strategy, 
But for me, I think that the Denver Nuggets will have a good chance of winning this game I really don't want to compare the Miami Heat to the Los Angeles Lakers but there is a good chance that the same thing will happen with this game with the Los Angeles this is just my gut is telling me and backing this feeling are the Denver Nuggets has a pretty good run towards their Conference series,
