The Denver Nuggets took Game 1 by a double-digit margin, and they’ll look to keep rolling tonight in Ball Arena. But Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have proven that they won’t go down without a fight, and with so much on the line, even the sharpest bettors can let the best NBA player props slip through their fingers, especially the below Jimmy Butler player prop.

Today’s Top NBA Player Prop | Heat-Nuggets Game 2
Jimmy Butler Prop O/U 0.5 3-Pointers
The Miami Heat have often lit up their opponents from beyond the arc in the playoffs. That didn’t happen in Game 1, and if it does happen in Game 2, don’t expect Jimmy Butler to contribute much — if at all — from the perimeter.
Butler isn’t known for his sharpshooting, and although he has made several clutch 3-pointers in the postseason, he has still gone without a 3-pointer in 8 of his 18 playoff starts this year (44.4%). Bet Pro has him sinking only 0.5 3-pointers here.
The sportsbooks are making a mistake by stacking the juice on the under. We can find the under priced at +160 (38.5%) at DraftKings. The under should hit 41% of the time, per Bet Pro, so we’re getting a steal at the current market price.
