LiontipsDenver vs Miami. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Nuggets were not looking good in recent matches. Mike Malone's men suffered two defeats to Memphis (97:106 and 106:108) and then just barely beat Houston (95:94).
Jamal Murray is still not playing for Denver. Canadian player is injured, so he will be unavailable for a long time. Nikola Jokic is trying to pull the team up, but he needs some help. Will Barton is not doing too much and Aaron Gordon is not living up to the expectations so far. He played better, when he was in Orlando.
Miami recorded a victory in the previous match. Two days ago Heat recorded a victory over Utah (118:115). In this game they managed to redeem themselves for a recent defeat to Boston (78:95). It was just not their night. Spoelstra's men were looking terrible and even out-of-form Celtics managed to outscore them. But in just a couple of days Miami's head coach managed to turn the things around.
We should note that Heat won three consecutive away matches. They recorded away victories over Brooklyn, Memphis and Dallas.
