*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Sunday, February 12th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Monday, February 13th.
Denver Nuggets
A bit of a rough stretch for the Nuggets in their last 11 matches with five losses albeit Nikola Jokic didn’t play in three of them.
Jamal Murray also missed a trio in that stint albeit he’s been out the last four in a row dealing with inflammation in his knee.
In spite of the uneven play and the big moves made by their conference opponents at the deadline, this team still feels very much like the best team in the West and are simply in need of the All-Star break and some rest.
Stats
Denver possesses the best offense in the league highlighted by scoring 117.2 points per game ranking sixth. Denver is shooting the best field goal percentage of 51.0% as well as the top-ranked perimeter efficiency of 39.3%.
To be sure, defensively the Nuggets are improving. So far, they allow opponents to score 112.9 points per game which ranks 13th while limiting foes to 48.1% from the field and 34.9% from deep ranking 23rd and eighth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jamal Murray PG (questionable – knee)
- Aaron Gordon PF (questionable – rib contusion)
- Zeke Nnaji PF ( (OUT – shoulder)
- Collin Gillespie PG (OUT – leg fracture)
Miami Heat
Although there were multiple teams expected to be busy at the trade deadline, perhaps the most surprising team to not make a big move was the Heat.
Pat Riley rarely is inactive and considering how much this roster struggles to score it seems odd they did very little.
Stats
Offensively, the Heat scores 108.4 points per game ranking 30th while shooting 45.2% from the field and 33.5% from the perimeter ranking 30th and 28th respectively.
Defensively, the Heat allow opponents to score 108.1 points per game ranking second overall. Miami opponents shoot 47.5% from the field and 36.5% from the perimeter ranking 17th and 21st respectively.

Free Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
Injuries have plagued the Heat all season but even when they’re healthy-ish they don’t score the ball.
That might work in the postseason when teams shift to half-court offenses but it has to be concerning for Erik Spoelstra, especially with Miami now ranking dead last in both points per game and field goal percentage.
Denver is also limping into the break but I’m still surprised they are the underdogs in this match even if they haven’t played as well on the road -a few of those losses featured numerous starters being out of the lineup.
Ultimately this match may come down to selecting either the Nuggets’ offense or the Heat’s defense and if that’s a wash then it’s a matter of believing more in the Nuggets’ defense or the Heat’s offense. In both cases I pick Denver.
