The 2023 NBA Finals begin tonight, with the Denver Nuggets hosting the Miami Heat in Game 1.

The Nuggets are playing in their first-ever NBA Finals, and are heavy favorites to win it all at -360.

The X-Factor however, is that the Heat have Jimmy Butler. The Heat will be looking to win their first title since 2013 after upsetting both the #1-seeded Bucks and #2-seeded Celtics in the playoffs.

The game tips off at 8:30pm ET on ABC and ESPN+.

Who’s your pick to win? How many games will the Finals go?
