About the 2023 NBA Finals, Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat

The Denver Nuggets are making their first NBA Finals appearance in the history of the franchise, but it’s safe to say they aren’t intimidated by the moment. Superstar Nikola Jokic and his supporting cast of Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and others enter the Finals as heavy favorites, coming off a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Heat barely managed to avoid a reverse-sweep, going up 3-0 on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals before allowing the Celtics to storm back and tie the series at three games each. But another magical performance from Jimmy Butler allowed the Heat to avoid making history in a bad way, and advance to the 2023 NBA Finals.

ESPN+ will offer a simulcast of ABC’s Game 1 coverage of the NBA Finals. ESPN+ and ESPN2 will share coverage of the “NBA in Stephen A’s World” alternate broadcast of Game 1. All games on ABC will be simulcast on ESPN3, as they have for the entire NBA playoffs. ESPN Deportes will carry Spanish-language broadcasts of all games.
