Denver is motivated, two games behind Portland for the final playoff spot in the West. The Nuggets have a terrific young star in Nikola Jokic, who notched his sixth triple-double in Friday's loss, and all six have come since the start of February. Denver is 15-7 ATS playing on one day of rest and 10-3 ATS following a straight up loss. Miami had that sizzling 23-5 run, but has cooled off, losing four of seven (losing three times as chalk). They come of an embarrassing home loss to a depleted New York Knicks squad, 98-94, on Friday. Heat starting guard Dion Waiters has missed seven games in a row with an ankle injury. When these teams clash, the Nuggets are 15-6 ATS, and the underdog is 8-3 ATS. Play Denver.
