Few things from their last matchup:

* Heat are too small for the Nuggets. Have trouble with Nuggets size inside.

* Nuggets ball movement causes switches where Jokic ends up being guarded by anybody but Adebayo, and scores easily.

* Nuggets won by 4, but shot 40% from 3 pt range. Not sure that's replicable.

* Heat often overhelp or watch, leaving Nuggets wide open (Nuggets ball movement proves effective).

* The Heat are playing a different level of defense now than they did on Feb 13.

Funny that OP didn't even realize Murray didn't play in that game.

Denver played without Jamal or Gordon that game. Miami is ****ed.

Remains to be seen. Too much or too little can be derived from one game. It seems most on this thread misinterpreted the point of the thread - which is not to assume that the outcome of that game will suggest the outcome in the Finals. But rather to identify key dynamics in the matchup to watch for.
