The Nuggets have almost accomplished their mission.<\/p>\n<p>Denver looks to sweep its six-game road trip with a win in Miami, but the Nuggets have to shut down Heat guard Dwayne Wade first.<\/p>\n<p>Wade is averaging 29.2 points per game and looked absolutely dominant in a win over Washington on Nov. 4 with a 40-point performance. Don&#8217;t forget about Denver forward Carmelo Anthony, though. Anthony is averaging 32 points while leading the Nuggets to one of their best starts in team history.<\/p>\n<p>Miami&#8217;s front-court can&#8217;t match the athleticism that the Nuggets possess. Heat center Jermaine O&#8217;Neal isn&#8217;t the defensive force that he once was and Denver center Nene Hilario is a monster in the paint. The Nuggets own a massive edge with their inside game that Miami just can&#8217;t match.<\/p>\n<p>Denver is scoring 115 points a game, while the Heat are allowing opponents to score 91 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Something has to give.<\/p>\n<p>I like the Nuggets in this one. Miami hasn&#8217;t defeated Denver in its last eight opportunities, and I don&#8217;t see the Heat outscoring the Nuggets high-scoring offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denver 109, Miami 102<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each night,\u00a0the Clarion will choose the top game on the NBA calendar and select a winner.
