Unlike either of the first two games, which maxed at three lead changes, Game 3 saw a more-even event with seven lead changes. Of course, Denver had a terrific third quarter, beating Miami by 9. The Heat didn't win a single quarter, only tying the first quarter. 

Leading the charge were Nikola Jokic (32 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists) and Jamal Murray (34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists), the first teammates to ever both post a triple-double in the same game. They also beat the Heat on the boards, with 58 rebounds to Miami's 33.

Not only did the Heat get dominated on the glass, they were beat on field goal shooting, with a 37% rate to the Nuggets' 51%. Caleb Martin, who was sick in Game 2, only posted 10 points. Tyler Herro (broken hand) has been ruled out from returning to help the Heat.

DraftKings still has the same odds as this morning, with the Nuggets (-145) still the favorite and the Heat (+125) the underdog — though Denver's odds are tighter and Miami's are higher than yesterday. So, betting $145 on the winning Nuggets would earn you $100, and a $100 bet on the winning Heat would net you $125.

Probably. Aussies can watch the 2023 Playoff live streams on Kayo Sports, a major destination for NBA action. ESPN Australia, if you get it, is another means, but it's unclear if either will host the Nuggets vs. Heat live stream.

Kayo offers a 14-day free trial for both its Basic and Premium plans, more than enough time to confirm they're actually showing the games. The Kayo One package costs $25 per month thereafter, and Kayo Basic is $30.

The $35 per month Premium Kayo plan gives you all the same things as the normal plan, but it offers three simultaneous streams. The Basic plan gives you two streams at the same time. 

Not in Australia but usually a Kayo subscriber? You may need a little help from a service such as ExpressVPN.
