Tonight, is the NBA Finals which will be an exciting series between two teams with strong cultures so here is my prediction of who will the title.
#1 Denver Nuggets vs. #8 Miami Heat
This matchup has a little bit of bad blood stemming from a game couple of seasons ago where after a chippy play Nikola Jokic shoved then Heat player Marcus Morris injuring him and benches cleared leaving some resentment between the teams. Fast forward tonight where the Nuggets who were atop of the West had taken care of their opponents quite easily and healthy by defeating the Timberwolves in 5 games, Suns in 6 games and swept the Lakers in 4 giving a much-needed break going into the finals.
On the other hand, the Heat are the first Play-In team to make the finals after going through both play-in games to make the playoffs. The improvable run started when the Heat shocked everyone by beating the #1 seeded Bucks in 5 games, followed by eliminating the rising Knicks in 6 games and defeated the #2 Celtics in an emotional 7 games sending this battle tested team to the Finals.

As great as “Playoff” Jimmy Butler has been as well as the exceptional play from unknown role players like Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin and Duncan Robinson made it possible for Miami to make the Finals. But this Nuggets team was clicking on all cylinders now add some rest at probably the best time with homecourt advantage may be too much for the Cinderella Heat to overcome.
Nuggets center or centerpiece Nikola Jokic will simply be too much for the Heat frontcourt and be prepared for a surprise series performance from Michael Porter Jr will be the reason why Nuggets win their first championship in franchise history by defeating Miami in valiantly played 5 games.
