This is the first of two scheduled meetings between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat. It’s also the first time the clubs have met since they last played in the NBA Finals. Miami will host the second meeting on March 13th.
Miami arrives following their 106-96 victory versus the Blazers on Tuesday while the Nuggets are completing a back-to-back set having won 117-96 versus the Kings on Wednesday.
Season Series
Denver owns the all-time record between the clubs winning 38 of their 72 matches and has the Larry O’Brien trophy from last season that came in their 4-1 romp of the Heat.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Wednesday, February 28th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, February 29th.
Miami Heat
Don’t look now but look who is inching up the East standings and rounding into form as they prepare for the playoffs. Miami has jumped into a secure playoff seed jumping from a play-in berth all the way up to the fifth seed.
Jimmy Butler has missed some games but looks every bit the leader who got his Heat to charge down the stretch last season and make their historic run.
The Heat aren’t scared of anyone in the upper echelon and it will be interesting to watch the jockeying for position as teams try to avoid them in the first round.
Heat Stats
Miami ranks 23th offensively (113.4), and seventh defensively (112.7) with a plus net differential of +0.7 which ranks 16th overall.
The Heat perform just above the middle ground against the spread with a 29-28-1 record through 57 matches.
Heat Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Love, PF (OUT Thursday — heel)
- Josh Richardson, SG (OUT indefinitely— shoulder)
- Thomas Bryant, C (OUT three games — suspension)
- Tyler Herro, SG (questionable— knee)
- Dru Smith, SG (OUT for the season — knee)
- Orlando Robinson, PF (upgraded to probable— back)
Denver Nuggets
Like their opponent, the Nuggets are focused on building momentum as they enter the playoffs.
Nikola Jokic has been on a tear posting ridiculous triple-doubles and entered Wednesday having averaged 27.3 points, 16.7 rebounds, and 15.0 assists along with 2.3 steals in the prior three contests.
The key for the Nuggets is building up the experience and confidence of their youngsters Christian Braun and Peyton Watson who will need to be a factor in the postseason if they are to repeat.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks eighth offensively (117.5) and ninth defensively (113.4) with a net differential of plus +4.1 which ranks seventh overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 25-31-2 record through 58 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report

Miami has the advantage of schedule playing the fourth easiest closing slate while the Nuggets reside in the middle of the pack at 15th.
