Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets prediction

The Denver Nuggets are the better team and a nightmare at home, where they're 22-5 SU on the season. However, the Nuggets are also on the end of a back to back and have allowed teams to hang around at times. The Miami Heat are rested and as healthy as they've been in a while with the return of Butler and Rozier. Tyler Herro is also due to return for the Heat at any moment. This is also the first meeting between the Heat and Nuggets since the NBA Finals, so there should be some motivation factor for the Heat. I'll take my chances with the Heat and the free buckets.
