Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets are going to be big favorites at home against pretty much anybody, and they’ve won 9 of the last 10 games against the Heat. The Heat haven’t beat the Nuggets since June 2023. However, this line is ridiculous. The Heat have been one of the biggest surprises in the league up to this point, with an offense that’s top-five in points and field goal percentage. The defense is fifth in field goal percentage allowed. Powell is back from injury, which helps as well. The Heat look sharp. This line is disrespectful. Give me the points.
