Tonight is a very important day for the Miami Heat. The Heat will be looking to even their series against the Denver Nuggets 1-1, and avoid going into a 2-0 hole. Fortunately, they'll have the services of both Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler.

The Miami Heat have officially listed Bam Adebayo as available for Game 2 against the Denver Nuggets with right shoulder discomfort. Adebayo was listed with the same injury in Game 1 and still played in that game as well.

In Game 1, Adebayo put up 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists on 52% shooting. It was a really solid game from Adebayo, but he couldn't stop Nikola Jokic, something one in these playoffs has been able to do either. Jokic put up 27 points, 10 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal, on 67/50/83. It was truly an unstoppable game from Jokic that Adebayo and the Miami Heat have to figure out a way to stop in Game 2. It's easier said than done, though, since it seems like Jokic has ascended to a new level that's impossible to stop.

Somehow, someway, the Miami Heat will need Bam Adebayo to do even better in Game 2 than he did in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat face off in Game 2 of the NBA Finals tonight at 8:00 pm ET.
