The Nuggets end their 3-game road trip in Miami on Tuesday and they’ll be looking to build on their 14 pt win over the Hornets. On Sunday, Jokic led the Nuggets to victory without Jamal Murray as he finished with another triple-double (30 pts, 16 rebs, 10 asts). Murray could be back for this contest as he’s questionable along with Aaron Gordon. But if both players can’t suit up, Jokic will be the key for Denver in this clash.<\/span><\/p>\n The Heat are looking for a 4th straight win on Tuesday. They have struggled to put away the likes of the Magic, Rockets and Pacers as they’ve won all 3 games by under 10 pts. However, they’re riding an 8 game winning streak on their home court and will start as favourites against the Nuggets. Their starting lineup will be something to monitor as Adebayo, Herro and Vincent are questionable. Oladipo and Lowry are both out already so Jimmy Butler will get plenty of the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n This should be a close game between these two sides and the trend looks to be a low-scoring affair. The Under has saluted in 8 of Miami’s last 11 games and it’s also 6-1 at home. Denver are 5-2 against the Under on the road as well.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Miami are 9-1 in their last 10 at home. Denver has won 4 of their last 5 in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Nuggets have owned the Heat with 8 wins in the last 10 meetings since 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Under 223.5 = $1.91<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Nets new lineup played together for the first time on Sunday and just fell short of the 76ers by 3 pts. Mikal Bridges scored a team-high 23 pts but as a team, they shot just 40% from the field. However, there will be some tough stretches going forwards for this team as they look to build chemistry. They’ll likely go with the same starting 5 on Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n The Knicks are looking for their 3rd straight win at home when they host the Nets on Tuesday. They beat the Jazz 126-120 on Sunday as Jalen Brunson put on a clinic with 38 pts. He’s now scored 30+ in 3 of his last 4 home games. The newly acquired Josh Hart played well off the bench with 11 pts and 4 steals. Mitch Robinson is still out with injury so Sims will likely continue to get the start in his absence and he’s coming off 10 boards agianst the Jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n While the Nets have owned the Knicks lately, it will take some time for Brooklyn’s new lineup to adjust. There’s no Durant or Irving so the Knicks should be confident. They’ve also covered in 4 of their last 6 at home and Brunson\/Randle are in good form.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n New York hold a 3-2 record in their last 5 home games. Brooklyn is 5-1 against the Knicks at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nBrooklyn Nets (33-23) at New York Knicks (31-27)<\/b><\/h2>\n
