Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat preview

The Denver Nuggets are doing really well lately winning nine of their last 10 games with impressive wins against the Heat and the Celtics. In contrast the Miami Heat haven't been as consistent losing three games in a row including at home, against the Wizards.

The Nuggets are really excelling on offense, scoring an average of 117.8 points for every 100 possessions, while the Heat are falling short with 113.4 points per 100 possessions.

On the other end, the Nuggets have been quite solid, limiting their opponents to an average of only 116 points in their recent five games.

This is crucial given the Heats struggle to score managing to put up 108 points or less in their last three games.

It's worth mentioning that the Nuggets have been stellar when playing away games securing victories by least five points in their last five outings.
