The Miami Heat (8-3) and the Denver Nuggets (7-4) have a 10:30 PM ET game on Friday, and this could potentially be a preview of things to come in the playoffs with the way both teams are playing.
The Nuggets are 5-1 at home this season and will be taking on a Miami squad that is hoping to improve on their 5-2 road record.
Miami’s West Coast road trip hasn’t started off like they had planned after back-to-back overtime losses against the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors, but they will try to rebound tonight against the Nuggets.
The Heat covered the odds in 3 straight games before their recent losses, while they’ve gone over the total in 4 of their last 5.
Denver has lost 2 of their last 3 and has failed to cover the odds in 2 straight after doing so in 6 consecutive games prior to the recent cold streak.
They’ve gone under the total in 6 of their last 8 games, including 4 of their last 5 when playing at home in Denver.

The home team has won 4 straight when these teams meet up, including most recently when Miami won 103-98 as 8-point favorites.
The Nuggets were 130-102 winners as 1.5-point favorites the last time they hosted the Heat, and Denver has covered the betting odds in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head meetings.
The under has been a winner in 4 of the last 5 matchups, and Denver has won outright in 8 of the last 10.
Despite that dominance, it is actually the road-team Heat who is a 3.5-point favorite right now.
The Nuggets have covered the odds in 8 of their 11 games while Miami has done so in just 5 of 11 this season.
The total sits at 210 and these squads have combined to go over in 12 games while going under in 10.
