The Denver Nuggets have had more than a week of rest ahead of the NBA Finals. The Miami Heat needed seven games to advance to face the Nuggets. Will the Nuggets be rusty?

Another big concern is how the Heat will stop two-time MVP Nikola Jokiu0107. Bam Adebayo will be key to that equation, but expect Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to pull out some creative defenses.
