And the Heat won the see-sawing game with a terrific trio of scorers. Gabe Vincent posted 23 points, while Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo each contributed 21. 

Across the court, the Nuggets' shooting failed to show up, thanks to Miami's swarming defense and the addition of Kevin Love — who shut down Aaron Gordon. All of Denver's little tweaks paid off, especially on stopping Nikola Jokic from being the playmaker and assist-compiler he's been during the playoffs.

The Heat will enter game 3 with its home town supporting them, and hoping their offense continues to stay alive. Game 1 saw too many missed open shots, a pattern that the Miami faithful will not want to see.

DraftKings, at the time of publication, is giving this series close odds now. It lists the Nuggets (-140) as the favorite and the Heat (+120) as the underdog. So, betting $140 on the winning Nuggets would earn you $100, and a $100 bet on the winning Heat would net you $120.  

Here's everything you need to know to watch the Nuggets vs. Heat live stream online.

NBA fans in the U.K. will watch the Nuggets vs. Heat live stream on Sky Sports Main Event and Arena.

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £24/month to add those channels. You'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky sub, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. Pricing starts at £11.98 for day & mobile month membership, with month-long access for £34.99.

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.
