It’s a rematch of the 2023 NBA Finals when the Nuggets host the Heat on the NBA Thursday slate. Here are my tips and odds, thanks to TradieBet!
Thursday 06/11/2025 at 1:00pm AEDT. Venue: Ball Arena (Denver)
Nikola Jokic and his Nuggets host the Miami Heat on Thursday afternoon. Here is my betting preview and tips for this West vs East matchup!
| SGM Bet | Nikola Jokic 10+ Assists – Andrew Wiggins 15+ Points – Davion Mitchell 8+ Assists | $5.50 |
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Over 242.5 pts | $1.85 |
The Nuggets bounced back from a 2 pt loss against the Trail Blazers with a close home win over the Kings, 130-124. They’re 4-1 in their last 5. Jokic comes off scoring 34 pts and 14 assists.
Miami kicked off this road-trip with 2 straight defeats but they held on to beat the Clippers a few days ago. The trip to Denver is never easy but a road win over LA will boost their confidence.

| 133-111 | W | Home | 26/10/25 | – | 115-107 | W | Home | 27/10/25 |
The last 2 meetings have been blowouts in the Nuggets favour by 10+ in each game.
| Home | Score | Away | Result | Arena | Margin | Total | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 113-133 | Nuggets won by 20 pts | @ Miami | 20 | 246 | Sat 18-Jan-2025 | ||
| 135-122 | Nuggets won by 13 pts | @ Denver | 13 | 257 | Sat 9-Nov-2024 |
The Heat are underdogs and it’s fair to say, they’ll likely struggle on the road in Denver. They’re just 3-12 against the spread in the last 15 meetings and have lost their last 7. But the Over looks like the best bet. It’s saluted in 7 of the last 8 games when the Heat are away from Miami. Denver also comes off scoring 130 pts and they are the #1 scoring team in the NBA. The Over is 6-2 in their last 8 games as well.
Here are my NBA same game multi tips for the Nuggets against the Heat.
