The Miami Heat have played at the most lethargic tempo in the NBA over the last 25 games as the away team.The Miami Heat are expected to suffer a drop-off in possessions today from competing against the 4th-least up-tempo tempo team in the NBA this year (the Denver Nuggets).The Miami Heat have been the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league as the road team this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore eliminate extra opportunities for scoring and assists).The Denver Nuggets have given up the 2nd-most offensive rebounds per game (13.8) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).Nikola Jovic will not receive the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing away from your home city tends to worsen player production in all stat categories.
