Caleb Martin, Heat 
($9,900) vs. Nuggets
Martin was limited due to playing through an illness in Game 2, as he came off the bench and finished with 14.3 DK points in the win. He could come off the bench again in Game 3, but he should deliver a more energized performance, while he is averaging 13.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in the playoffs.
Forwards/Centers

Aaron Gordon, Nuggets ($9,300) at Heat
Gordon finished with over 25 DK points in Games 1 and 2, while averaging 14.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per outing. He benefits from a physical advantage at his position and should continue to find his way to easy baskets in the paint, feeding off his teammate's excellent passing.
Bam Adebayo, Heat ($13,500) vs. Nuggets
Adebayo is thriving in the Finals, averaging 23.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across two games, including a high of 50.8 DK points in Game 1.

Expected Chalk
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets ($22,800) at Heat
Despite the loss, Jokic delivered 41 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes of action in Game 2. He also tallied back-to-back triple-doubles in the two games prior and is averaging 30.4 points, 12.9 rebounds, 10.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 17 games this postseason. The Nuggets big man will likely continue to stuff the stat sheet regardless of the final result, considering he plays such a pivotal role in the offense.
Value Picks
Gabe Vincent, Heat ($8,400) vs. Nuggets
Vincent totaled 33 DK points in Games 1 and 2 of the Finals. He is averaging 13.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists through 19 games in the postseason, with at least 15 points in 11 outings. His relentless effort on defense also helps him add to his DK numbers, as he averages 0.8 steals per game.
Bruce Brown, Nuggets ($7,500) at Heat
Brown has more than 20 DK points in 14 of 17 appearances this postseason, while averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He does a great job making his mark with an energetic effort on both ends of the floor and should continue to thrive in his role off the bench.
Max Strus, Heat ($6,600) vs. Nuggets
Despite coming up scoreless in Game 1, Strus was a difference-maker in Game 2, with 14 points, two rebounds, six assists and a block for a total of 29.5 DK points, in 29 minutes of action. He should keep the momentum going in Game 3, as he is averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting 43.8 percent from the field at home in the playoffs.
Kevin Love, Heat ($3,600) vs. Nuggets
After not seeing the floor for three straight games, Love stepped up with six points, 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals to help lift the Heat in Game 2. The veteran big man will likely get the call once again and have another chance to shine on the highest stage.
Jeff Green, Nuggets ($2,700) at Heat
Green mustered 11.8 DK points in 16 minutes of action in Game 2. The veteran forward continues to see a fair amount of playing time off the bench and is averaging 4.2 points and 1.8 rebounds through the postseason.
