The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Heat are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Wednesday games. The over is 40-18-3 in Nuggets last 61 overall. The under is 7-3 in Heat last 10 home games. The Nuggets are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Miami and 19-9 ATS in the last 28 meetings.
The Denver Nuggets are starting to win games more consistently, but there’s something about their subpar defense that makes them hard to trust with chalk. The Miami Heat finally return home, they should have some fans for this contest, and they’re also expected to get some players back for this game. The Heat have been undermanned all week and they still hung around with the 76ers and Nets. The Heat can win this game outright. I’ll grab the points.
