The Miami Heat had many ups and downs in the first two months of the 2022-23 NBA season. There is not a starter in the team that wasn't injured this season and they barely played a game with their full roster available. The Denver Nuggets are sharing the top seed in the Western Conference with a 22-12 record. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is having another amazing season scoring 40+ points in 2 of the last 3 games and is on the way to becoming only the third player in NBA history to win three consecutive MVP awards. These two teams built some rivalry after the incident between Jokic and Marcus Morris Jr. from two years ago and this will be another game with a lot of heated moments. The Nuggets will use their momentum and win this one by covering the -3.5 point spread which may take them to the top of the West.
