The Miami Heat face off against the Denver Nuggets on Monday evening and this actually kicks off a tough five-game stretch for them. This is a stretch that sees them face the Nuggets, then both LA teams on Wednesday and Thursday, before having to face the Utah Jazz again a week from Saturday’s victory over that same club in Miami.
Not to be outdone and a classic trap game, they close it all with a matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder in OKC on Next Monday. If you don’t think it’ll trap you, ask the Lakers, twice.
With Denver being the next one up though, the attention remains there. Anytime that is the case for any team though, the thoughts are immediately to turn to one guy and that’s star-center, Nikola Jokic.
A one-man offensive machine, ‘The Joker’ is capable of beating you with his passing or by getting it done with his own scoring. He isn’t overly athletic or explosive, but he’s as crafty and agile as a seven-footer gets.
