Best NBA Odds for NBA Finals Game Today (Odds, Spreads and Totals for Thursday, June 1)
By Peter Dewey
Game 1 of the NBA Finals is here!
The No. 1-seeded Denver Nuggets will host the No. 8-seeded Miami Heat on Thursday night to kick off what should be an entertaining series.
Miami is looking to become the first No. 8 seed to ever win an NBA title while the Nuggets are searching for the first championship in franchise history. Either way, history will be made in this series.
Denver enters Game 1 as a major favorite, which makes sense given the team's home dominance this season. The Nuggets are 8-0 in the playoffs at Ball Arena and they went 34-7 at home in the regular season.
To this point in the playoffs, the Heat have proven everyone wrong, knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks, New York Knicks and Boston Celtics despite opening each series as the underdog.
Can the Heat complete one of the most improbable runs in NBA history? Miami's stolen Game 1 of every series its been in, but this may be the team's toughest test yet.
Let's break down the best odds available for Game 1:
