Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets. The NBA pick for this game is the Denver Nuggets.

SG Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat suffered a hand fracture during the initial game of the postseason and aimed to make a comeback in Game Three of the NBA Finals.

Considering the challenging recovery time after a demanding seven-game series, this poses a difficult situation for the Heat.

With their impressive size advantage, the Denver Nuggets will likely create difficulties for Miami and secure a comfortable victory in the series opener.

As a result, my final score prediction is a 118-103 win in favor of the Denver Nuggets.
