who will win the NBA championship 2023

The NBA is currently in the third round of the playoffs meaning the next team to win the series will be in the NBA Finals.

at the moment no teams in the third round have played, the teams left are the Celtics, nuggets, heat, lakers, with the lakers vs nuggets and heat vs Celtics

I was surprised to see that the heat and the lakers made it to the third round of the playoff as they came 8th in the eastern conference I was also surprised to see lakers there as they had a horrible start to the season and didn't even look like they were going to make the playoff.

Nuggets vs Lakers: The Nuggets this year have been amazing which is strange as they don't have great players on the team besides Nikola Jokic, it just shows how dominant of player he is carrying his team to the western conference finals. The lakers have a pretty good team on paper LeBron and Anthony Davis being the key players they are a good defensive team leading the league in blocks per game and are third in rebounds per game, it will be interesting to see if they can stop the nuggets as they are second in points per game.

Heat vs Celtics: The Heat I'm very surprised that they are this far in, they some how beat the Bucks 4-1 and then beat the new York knicks 4-2 so they have found things very easy in this years playoffs but i think that the Celtics are the toughest team yet. Celtics are a great team this year just like last year, the Celtics are leading the league in three pointers made and three point percentage so i think it will be tuff to stop them when they get on a role

Who will win?

I think that the Celtics will win they would be mad about losing in last years finals and they have learned a lot from there mistakes, i think that they will beat the Heat in 5 games, this will give them an advantage if the opponent has played more games which I believe they will, so the Celtics will have more energy and roll through the opposition.
