Miami Heat vs Denver Nuggets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

Prediction published on 13/03/2024, 13:13  by Kennedy Kechula in NBA Prediction

The Miami Heat will be seeking to snap a three-game losing run when they host the Denver Nuggets next in the NBA. They arrive for this match having dropped to eighth in the Eastern Conference standings while the Nuggets are second in the East. The Heat have lost their last three matches and were shockingly defeated at home by the Wizards last time out. Losing at home 110-108 to one of the worst teams in the league should be a worrying result for Erik Spoelstra’s men. Currently five games above .500, the Heat have dropped deeper into the play-in places. They are now one game adrift of the automatic playoff places. Kevin Love and Tyler Herro have been ruled out for this match while Jimmy Butler is questionable. The Heat have averaged 105.3 points in their last three matches.

The Nuggets are in red-hot form and coupling this with their dominance in this matchup, they will be confident of a win. Mike Malone’s men have won nine of their last 10 matches and are on a three-game winning run. They defeated the Raptors 125-119 at home last time out. Their hot streak has allowed them to tie OKC at the top of the West standings. Denver, who have averaged 127.3 points over their last three matches, have won 45 of 65 matches. They are faring much better also healthwise than the Heat and only long-term absentee Vlatko Cancar will miss this trip. The Nuggets have won the last four meetings with the Heat and haven’t lost in Miami since 2019.
