NBA Parlay Action Heat vs Nuggets

Bookmark and Share by D.S. Williamson

The Miami Heat travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets. Denver point-guard Chauncey Billups is a well known figure to most of the Heat players as before this season he spent his time in Detroit. For online sportsbook betting fans, Billups has to be considered the reason that the Nuggets are a viable play against the BetUS online sportsbook wagering odds in most of their games. Billups is a traditional point-guard who can score and rebound for the Nuggets. He averages close to 7 points a game and he put up 24 points in the Nuggets last game. He’s a brilliant complement to Carmelo Anthony which is one of the reasons the Nuggets are 12 games above .500 straight-up at 24 and 12. Against the BetUS online wagering spread, the Nuggets are pretty good at 20-15-1.

Miami has started to play much better lately. They are now 3 games above .500 and rookie Michael Beasley had one of his best games yet in their last when racking up 15 points and 12 rebounds. But this team is still all about Dwayne Wade who scored 24 points and dished out 12 assists in the Heat’s last game. As Wade goes, who’s averaging 28 points a game, so goes the Miami Heat. Against the BetUS online betting spread, the Heat are 13-18-2 overall.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Miami Heat + 5 - 110 + 180 O 200 - 110

Denver Nuggets -5 - 110 - 220 U 200 - 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Miami Heat are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games on the road as the underdog.

The Under is 9 and 3 in the Miami Heat last 12 games overall.

The Denver Nuggets are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games as the favorite.

The Over is 7 and 0 in the Denver Nuggets last 7 games overall.

The Heat is coming off of a 91 to 84 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. The last time these two teams played they went into overtime with the Heat losing 114 to 111.

Denver has been on a roll lately. They’ve won 4 straight games and against the spread they’ve gone 3 and 1 in that four game stretch. The Nuggets have truly found their rhythm which is a bad thing for the rest of the Western Conference.

With Anthony and Billups clicking and Nene understanding his role, the Nuggets are one of the top teams in the NBA.

5 points is a lot to give up to Miami because of D-Wade, but the Nuggets gave up 115 points to Indiana, where they scored 135, and 107 points to Toronto, where the Nuggets scored 114. The faster you run the more points the Nuggets are going to beat you by.

I like the Nuggets to cover against the BetUS online betting spread in this game but I also like this game to go over the BetUS Total of 200.

To me this parlay makes sense. I’ll be making a parlay bet on the Denver Nuggets to beat the 5 point online betting spread and for this game to go over the BetUS Total of 200 points.
