What day and time to watch Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals between Denver and Miami?
On Friday, June 2, 2023, the historic first game of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat with Jimmy Butler and the Denver Nuggets with Nikola Jokić will take place.
The game will have maximum viewership as we are witnessing a matchup that is NBA history: a finals series between these two teams has never been seen before, and they boast two players who are currently the best in the league.
Honestly, there are no clear favorites here. Denver comes into the series playing fantastic basketball and having crushed the Los Angeles Lakers with LeBron James. Meanwhile, Miami nearly threw it all away against the Boston Celtics, only saved by Jason Tatum’s injury at the start of the seventh game at the TD Garden.
