As the series heads to Game 2, elevation may play a significant role in the game.
The Heat play near sea level at home, but have now been in the mile-high city since Tuesday.
Altitude sickness takes more effect the longer an athlete stays at high altitude, thus some of the Miami players may look more sluggish than in Game 1.
Dating back to 2017, the Nuggets are 6-2 overall and 4-2 against the spread.
Here are three injury-based player props to play through Sleeper Picks for Game 2.

The undrafted guard appears fully healthy after his May 23 left ankle sprain and has been efficient in the past few games.
Vincent scored 19 points in Game 1 on 7-14 from the field and 5-10 from 3.
In the playoffs this year, Vincent is averaging 13.4 points on 41.5% shooting and 40% from 3-point range.
Finally healthy from his back injuries, Porter has played the best basketball of his career.
However, he has not shot the ball well lately and has been more focused on the defensive end.
He was 2 for 11 from 3 in Game 1 and shot 30% in Game 4 against the Lakers.
Porter has hit 3 or more threes in 8 of the 16 playoff games thus far and may have more tired legs in this second game at elevation.
Murray hit his points total in Game 1 and has played at an elite level now that he’s 100% healthy from his April 2021 ACL tear.
Nikola Jokic had 14 assists in Game 1, yet Murray still hit his assists total with 6.
More focus may be on Murray after his stellar shooting performance in the opening game of the series.
Murray has had 6 or more assists in 8 of the 16 playoff games, but has hit that total in 2 of the last 6 contests.
The Heat rank seventh in assists allowed this postseason.
