Adam Williams presents his prediction for the NBA match.
After a lively start, the Miami Heat ran into serious problems on their road trip. One game remains, but it will be played in the state of Colorado. Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are chasing the Western Conference and do not intend to drop points.
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets are in excellent form. They have won four of their last five, and not against the weakest opponents: the Sacramento Kings (130:124), the Minnesota Timberwolves (127:114) and the Phoenix Suns (133:111). Over time it has become clear that David Adelman is not trying to build the offence solely around Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. They are undoubtedly the leaders of the team, but seven players are scoring 8+ points, including bench contributors Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jonas Valančiūnas.
Miami Heat
As soon as the Miami Heat faced teams stronger than the current Charlotte Hornets, we stopped seeing 140+ points scored, while the defence also dropped sharply. It is clear that the visitors lack stability. Yes, Jaime Jaquez Jr. can deliver standout performances with 30+ points, but for every such game there are three unsuccessful ones. It is also important to note that in five road games this regular season they have won only two.
Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat Prediction
For many, the outcome of this game is obvious, and we will not try to convince you otherwise. Objectively, the Denver Nuggets are much stronger and more stable and, with home support, should win convincingly.
