Twitter: @GGirlSports.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s Game 2 of the NBA Finals,<\/strong><\/em> and the Nuggets have a 1-0 lead over the Heat<\/strong><\/em>. Although the Miami Heat came alive in the fourth quarter, the Denver Nuggets sealed the game, in large part to Nikola Joki\u0107 and Jamal Murray.<\/strong> It\u2019s time to break down the Denver Nuggets player props and the odds for Game 2<\/em>. If you are looking for the best betting odds and stats, here is information to know:<\/p>\n When it comes to sports betting<\/a>, you can bet on just about anything when it comes to a game. Most people automatically think the money line, the spread, and the over\/under. In fact, bettors can pick and bet on players.<\/em><\/p>\n A player prop<\/strong><\/em> bet is simple and to the point. It\u2019s betting on a player\u2019s estimated performance in that particular game.<\/strong><\/em> As a bettor, you can wager on players regardless of the outcome of the final score.<\/strong> <\/em>When making these bets, it\u2019s important to research the opponent and position matchup, minutes played, injuries, recent performances, home court advantage, and other factors.<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0For example, bettors can pick if a star player, such as Nikola Joki\u0107, will perform over or under on a certain number of points<\/em>. In fact, depending on the sportsbook that\u2019s legal in your state<\/a>, you can bet on points, rebounds, assists, blocks, rebounds, and so forth<\/em>. This also goes for other sports as well, such as baseball, football, hockey, and soccer.<\/p>\n \u00a0Jamal Murray showed out in Game 1<\/strong> <\/em>and had an incredible performance. In 44 minutes played, Murray finished with 26 Points, shot 11-22 from the field, and 2-7 from the three-point range.<\/b> <\/em>In addition, Jamal Murray shot 2-2 from the free-throw line, a number I expect to be higher in Game 2. Additionally, Murray added 25 Points, shot 5-5 from the line, 0-4 from the three-point range, and 10-18 from the field in a Game 4 sweep against the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/em><\/p>\n It's hard to envision Murray averaging only 20 points per game this season when he\u2019s exploded in the playoffs. Jamal Murray is an elite three-level scorer, who can also create his own shot<\/strong><\/em>. Often overshadowed by Nikola Joki\u0107 at times,<\/em> Murray has many 30 plus point games in the playoffs. Murray averaged an impressive 32.5 Points against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals<\/a>, shot 60 percent from the field, and 40 percent from the three.<\/strong> Murray scored 31 points in Game 1, 37 Points in Game 2, and 37 Points in Game 3 against the Lakers.<\/em> If you look at the numbers, both Jamal Murray's minutes have increased<\/strong> <\/em>series to series, in which he played a total of 44 minutes in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Along with stable minutes played well into the 40\u2019s, we\u2019ve seen Murrays shot attempts increase, especially in the series against the Lakers.<\/strong> <\/em>Murray averaged 22.8 shot attempts against the Lakers and is averaging 22 shot attempts in the Lakers.<\/em> Jamal Murray is playing exceptional basketball, and he knows it. With the volume of minutes and shot attempts taken, he will see plenty of looks in Game 2.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It was interesting Erik Spoelstra and the Heat kept guard Gabe Vincent on Jamal Murray most of the night<\/strong><\/em>. In fact, Murray hit 7 shots against Vincent, and Jimmy Butler only guarded him a handful of times throughout the night. We saw Murray struggle against Caleb Martin,<\/strong><\/em> so perhaps the Heat will put Martin or Butler on Murray. Since the Nuggets have such a strong offense, it will be hard for Miami to guard both the weak and strong side of the ball<\/em>. I love the way Jamal Murray is playing, especially with confidence and physicality.<\/strong><\/em> Give me Jamal Murray OVER 26.5 Points.<\/em><\/p>\n Playoff Statistics:<\/strong> 27.6 PPG, 92.8 FT%, 39.2 3PT %, 48.1 FG %.<\/em>What is a Player Prop?<\/h2>\n
