The Denver Nuggets Team Preview!
The Denver Nuggets were on a hot streak with four wins in a row, but then the Rockets totally crushed them, losing 128-108 at home on Wednesday. Jamal Murray and Christian Braun both dropped 22 points, and Russell Westbrook chipped in 17, but nobody else scored more than 10. The team nailed 53% of their shots and went 14 for 29 from beyond the arc, but their defense just wasn’t there. They were in trouble from the start after giving up 41 points in the second quarter. The game got out of hand quickly, so the Nuggets rested three starters, but Braun stayed in and hit 10 of 11 shots. Next up, the Nuggets are facing the Magic.
The Miami Heat Team Preview!
Right now, the Miami Heat could really use a win since they've dropped five of their last eight games. They're looking to break a two-game losing streak after losing to the Lakers 117-108 on the road Wednesday. Tyler Herro was on fire, hitting seven 3-pointers and scoring 34 points. Haywood Highsmith and Nikola Jovic both added 12 points, and Jaime Jacquez Jr. chipped in with 11. The team shot 53% overall and hit 16 of 36 from beyond the arc. They came out strong with 38 points in the first quarter, building a 14-point lead, but got outscored 63-42 in the second half. Terry Rozier had a quiet night with just six points on three of seven shooting, while Duncan Robinson managed only seven points on two of seven shooting off the bench.

Game Prediction!
The Pick: Denver Nuggets ML +146
The Nuggets might be missing some key players again, with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon both listed as questionable. Meanwhile, the Heat are still without the injured Josh Richardson. The Nuggets were doing well until they hit a roadblock with a tough loss to the Rockets on Wednesday. On the other hand, the Heat are still having a rough time, losing to the Lakers in their last game. You'll definitely want to see who's playing before the game starts, but right now, I'm feeling the Nuggets as the underdogs here.
