Per ESPN, line for tonight's Game 3 from Miami is DEN -2.5.

Looks like some serious recency bias is at play on this one given where the series futures and other line originations were.

I got to watch much more of Game 2 and liked what Miami did with their lineups, looked as though they wanted more size and to involve Love (an excellent outlet passer) to try to steal some points in transition to negate Denver's size and exploit their lack of quickness at certain positions.

I really respect Jokic and think he has a great basketball IQ and an excellent skillset, but it has been a long time since I've seen someone get away with what he does in terms of using his weight and momentum (usually by dipping his shoulder or extending his forearm) to dislodge defenders. I'll go on record as saying that if a player like DeMarcus Cousins or Dwight Howard were to have been officiated the same, the numbers that they'd put up would be unreal.
