NBA Betting Trends

Miami

The Heat are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games overall. Miami is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 Tuesday games.

Denver

The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Denver is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games played on two days of rest.

Prediction:

Denver hasn't been overly impressive thus far this season, but the talent is clearly there. Once Jokic gets in a groove, this team should be churning. But right now I don't want to fade a Miami team playing with a full deck and a ton of confidence. The Heat are getting contributions up and down their roster. While the thin air of Denver can be difficult, I like Miami here to at least make this contest go down to the wire.
