Draymond Green served up his latest hot take on the newest episode of his podcast this week as the Warriors star made his prediction for the 2023 NBA finals.
Slated for an 8:30 p.m. tipoff on Thursday, this year’s NBA Finals will feature a battle between the Nuggets and star center Nikola Jokić, against the Heat and star guard Jimmy Butler. The meeting will mark the second time a No. 8 seed (Miami) will appear in the Finals, as well as the first Finals appearance for top-seeded Denver.
In his breakdown of the series, Green explained the Nuggets’ ability to close out their previous series as the “one key thing” that the four-time NBA champion believes will make all the difference in the long run. Denver earned a Finals berth after going 12–3 through their first three series, including a sweep over the Lakers in the West finals.
