Heat at Nuggets tips and predictions

forecast

Heat 124, Nuggets 118

Money line

The Nuggets have won three straight at home after starting the season 0-2 at Ball Arena.

Heat C Bam Adebayo shot just 5 of 21 against Phoenix on Wednesday. He will recover even though he has to face C Nikola Jokic defensive.

Miami will have to slow down a Denver offense that has scored over 120 points in three straight games. But the Nuggets have also allowed 119 points or more in 5 of their last 6 games.

BET HEAT (+125).

Against the spread

The Heat are 2-2 ATS as underdogs, with both games being wins.

The Nuggets have been favored six times this season. They are 1-5 ATS in those games, although there were only 2 straight ATS losses.

But if you assume Miami wins outright, the spread here makes less sense because of the plus odds on the money line.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

The over has scored in the Nuggets’ last 6 games. They have scored over 120 points themselves in three straight games and in five of the last six contests. Their opponents average 117.2 points per game.

BET OVER 223.5 (-110).
