List of Refs for Heat vs Nuggets NBA Finals Game 3 Tonight (Tony Brothers in Charge for Pivotal Matchup)

After two days off to rest, the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat will clash on Wednesday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. With the series tied at 1-1, fans from both sides are hoping for a fairly officiated game tonight.

Here's everything you need to know about the refs for Game 3 of Heat-Nuggets.

Heat vs Nuggets Game 3 Referees

The three officials assigned to work Wednesday's matchup between the Heat and Nuggets are Tony Brothers (#25, crew chief), Josh Tiven (#58, referee) and Kevin Scott (#24, umpire). Ben Taylor (#46) will be the emergency alternate in case a last-minute replacement is needed.

Zach Zarba, meanwhile, will be in the Secaucus-based Replay Center for tonight's playoff game.

Looking at Brothers' postseason track record, he doesn't tend to favor one team over the other. The home team is 6-6 in his 12 playoff games as a crew chief this postseason and his foul calls are nearly identical for both sides. The average point total for those games is 218.4, which is slightly higher than the projected total of 214.5 points for tonight's game on FanDuel Sportsbook's NBA odds.

Here's a breakdown of the betting stats from games Brothers has officiated this season:

Tiven and Scott bring some postseason experience to the table as well with each man having reffed at least nine games in the 2022-23 playoffs. The home team has emerged victorious in 13 of their 19 combined contests, including seven of nine for Scott.

Accordingly, we could see a high-scoring Heat win tonight based on the NBA officiating crew.
