Denver Nuggets +2

After having their 5 game win streak come to an end against the Houston Rockets, Denver is in great position to get right back on track. As hot as the Nuggets have been Houston has been even hotter and so it's not a surprise that they snapped the Nuggets win streak last night.

Miami is not on the same level, even though the Heat have won 5 of the past 7 matchups vs the Nuggets, I'm taking Denver + the points here tonight.

This is the first meeting between these teams this season, Miami has yet to experience the 2018-2019 Denver Nuggets which is a much improved version of what it was in prior seasons. The Nuggets are one piece away from being the top team in the NBA, if they are able to land a player like Anthony Davis things could get interesting.

Denver is the better team and they have shown no reason to bet against them, that and they have been great when playing on 0 days rest which they are doing today.

Trends:

The road team is 5-1 against the spread in the previous 6 meetings
Denver is 7-3 against the spread when playing on 0 days rest
Denver is 5-2 in the previous 7 games played on the road vs Miami

Denver's defence will be the difference tonight, I believe they are more than capable of holding Miami below 100 points while scoring 110+ them selves.
