Here are three of the best prop bets for the Nuggets-Heat game, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Nuggets vs Heat Game 4 Player Props

1. Aaron Gordon - Points + Rebounds + Assists: Over 21.5 (-115)

The NBA Finals have been all about the performances of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, but it's worth diving into the impact Aaron Gordon has made. The 10th-year pro is averaging 13.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in the NBA Finals as he is constantly taking advantage of matchups against smaller defenders. He has posted at least 22 points + rebounds + assists (PRA) in three of his last four games overall and finished with 21 PRA in the only time he failed to cash this prop bet. The Heat cannot afford to go down 3-1 on Friday, so expect them to focus on shutting down Jokic or Murray. That gives Gordon a clear opportunity to ball out.

2. Bam Adebayo - Points: Over 20.5 (-102)

The Nuggets have made it a priority to not let the Heat beat them from beyond the arc, which has let Bam Adebayo put in some work down low. He has scored at least 21 points in each of the last three games as his mid-range stroke has been clean. It's worth noting that Adebayo has now tallied at least 21 points in seven of his last 10 head-to-head matchups against Jokic. The Kentucky product is attempting a whopping 20.0 field goals per game so far and that volume alone makes this prop bet worth backing on Friday night. He remains the Heat's most consistent offensive option.

3. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Points: Under 7.5 (+106)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been a volume-based scorer for most of his NBA career and he is not seeing nearly enough volume to be worth trusting in the Finals. The Denver sharpshooter has attempted only 16 field goals across three games and is averaging a measly 6.3 points per contest. He is shooting just 31.3% from the floor and is surrounded by capable offensive players like Jokic, Murray, and Gordon. None of those things should make bettors confident that Game 4 will be the time KCP returns to the form he showed in the Western Conference Finals. He's on the court for defense.
