Welcome to our Rival Fantasy NBA DFS prop picks for Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Game 3 of the Finals features Nikola Jokic desperate for help and facing a Heat that is peaking at just the right time. Jokic will put up numbers, but it's not looking the rest of the Nuggets are able to help.

RIVAL Over/Under Picks
There will be limited options because of a single-game slate, but that doesn't mean we can't find some offered props that will work for us.
Nikola Jokic OVER 63.49 fantasy points
This is a massive over to hit, but if anyone is going to do it it’s Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets fooled everyone again by folding when it matters most, but at least their best player is playing well and that shouldn’t change.
This is one of few opportunities we have to make the most of the supporting Nuggets playing poorly and we can assume their first Finals game on the road is going rattle the inexperienced.
Jokic has his work cut out for him, but aside from posting a 40-20 game he’s going to need help from teammates to boost his assists and that isn’t guaranteed so there is a decent amount of risk.
Jimmy Butler OVER 44.31 fantasy points
Jimmy Butler has yet to have a good game these Finals, but it hasn’t really mattered. This is what he’s done all season and it’s a part of the Heat culture that has infected basketball fans.
Miami only won by a couple points last game and it seems that everyone is already counting out Denver for the next two games. Despite home games favoring role players, Butler needs to put up numbers in case the Nuggets players not named Nikola Jokic remember how to play basketball.
Even though this is another huge over to take, both star players should be lined up for huge Game 3 performances.
Bruce Brown OVER 20.16 fantasy points
It’s not good when starters are outscored by bench players, but it can be when you bet on those bench players. If there is any repeat of Game 2, we can be sure that Bruce Brown and Jeff Green won’t be the problem.
Despite limited minutes, both players are producing on offense and holding up their end defensively. That’s more than some other Nuggets players can say and you’ll notice that Jokic and Brown are the only two players worth mentioning.
Waiting until Game 3 of the Finals to find your next-best source of offense is not good. That being said, the Bruce Brown floater project is still somehow working.
Max Strus OVER 18.46 fantasy points
Unfortunate that Max Strus can do so much to impact a game and Duncan Robinson still gets all the credit. Nothing against Robinson, but hitting a few shots is nothing compared to carrying a backcourt.
Gabe Vincent deserves recognition as well, but despite the results, Strus has stuck by his guns and it is currently paying off.
Every player is subject to a bad game, but Strus has earned his 10 shots per game and his under doesn’t reflect his upside.
