Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, and they've won 9 of the last 10 games against the Heat. However, the Nuggets are still banged up and their lack of depth remains a concern from tonight. The Miami Heat are coming off back-to-back encouraging results, outplaying the Kings and Suns, and should've won both. The Heat are eventually going to start finishing games. Maybe? Give me the road dog.
