The Denver Nuggets host the Miami Heat on Friday night at the Ball Arena in Colorado. These two teams are among the top favorites for the NBA title this year.

Before Betting on Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic is rushing towards his third NBA MVP award in a row, and the Joker looks unstoppable for the moment. Jokic turned up in the past few games, and dropped 31.5 points over the latest ten clashes, much more than his average of 25.7. 

His Nuggets lost the last event, which was against the Sacramento Kings on the road in California, 127-126, despite leading almost 20 points throughout the game. However, Denver is very confident in Ball Arena, winning 12 of their 15 events.

Miami also plays well, winning eight of the previous 10 contests, and we need to add that throughout that span, the Heat had to deal with numerous injuries. Erik Spoelstra combined successfully, and that’s why Miami’s results were positive. 

The defense has been the top priority of the unit, as Miami allowed 105.6 points throughout those 10 events. A hard approach, especially under the rim, prevented the rivals from getting easy buckets.

The Heat are a defensive-oriented unit, and that’s been the fact over the past month. We believe that the Nuggets probably won’t have their entire team at their disposal, and that’s why their offensive capacity might be a bit limited. Therefore, 223.5 points, which is the current line here, is high, and we predict under.
