Heat vs. Nuggets Prediction & Pick

Nikola Jokic showed on Saturday why is a frontrunner to be named MVP. The Nuggets center posted his 20th triple-double of the season with 30 points, 16 rebound and 10 assists. He guided Denver without Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, who both remain questionable on Monday with injuries.

One of Denver's lone struggles this season has been keeping teams from scoring around the rim, but Miami only ranks 22nd in the league in points in the paint per game (46.9). With that taken out of the equation, the Nuggets can build a quick lead given their league-leading 51.0% shooting percentage.

Miami has lost five straight games against Denver, so fade the Heat at FTX Arena on Monday night.

Final Score Prediction: Heat: 108 | Nuggets: 112

Heat vs. Nuggets Best Bet

This is a head-to-head series that Denver has simply dominated as of late. Not only are the Nuggets 5-0 straight up in their last five games against the Heat, but they are also 5-0 against the spread (ATS) during that span. The average margin of victory in those showdowns sits at a whopping 15.0 points.

Denver enters this game hot, going 5-2 ATS in its last seven games overall and 11-4 ATS in its last 15 games on February. On the other side, Miami is 1-4 ATS in its last five games overall and 2-5 ATS in its last seven games in February. The depth of Denver's roster will shine in a road victory on Monday.
