This is our GAMETHREAD: Chat live about the game here!

The Miami Heat (28-26) are on the second night of a back-to-back set as they visit the Mile High City to take on the Denver Nuggets (34-20).

Coach Erik Spoelstra is giving Goran Dragic the night off, officially listing him as out due to lower back spasms and recovery from his recent knee injury, and is choosing to rest his veteran point guard after he played 28 minutes off the bench and scored 12 points on 3-11 FG shooting (0-7 3-point FG). However the good news is that Jimmy Butler remains in the starting lineup after spraining his right ankle late last night in their loss to the Phoenix Suns.
