Miami at Denver 9:00 ET
Nuggets (-) over Heat- In all three of their previous playoff series No. 8 seed Miami was able to get a jump on the No. 1 Bucks, No. 5 Knicks and No. 2 Celtics in the opening game of the series and that put tremendous pressure on the home clubs. They felt ambush in a way and that is not something Denver has to worry about. After sweeping the crushing Phoenix in their final two games of the series the Nuggets swept the Lakers and won their seventh straight over the Heat in Game One. I am sure to hear how Miami will make adjustments and the Game-1 loser covering the zigzag concept is they play...well not so fast. Let us take a closer look at this Heat club a little loser. To start with they are just 3-9 ATS following a loss by 10 points or more. And I have more, Miami is 9-26 ATS in the lat 35 overall meetings and 0-4 ATS at Mile High. Finally, they are 4-14 ATS in their last 17 with 2 days rest while the Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games on two days rest and we will rest with the Nuggets are 8-3 last 11 at home. Plus they really are a lot better are hungry. Nuggets can shoot the ball, the other side not so much, as they already shot their load in the last three anomalies. Take DENVER!
