Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 29, 2025

Miami's 147-123 victory over Denver marked a decisive 24-point win, with the Heat's balanced offensive attack overwhelming a Nuggets squad that never found rhythm in the second half. The combined 270 points cleared the market total of 244.5 by 25.5, landing decisively OVER—a result that came despite DAGGER's pregame lean to the UNDER.

The game's arc told the story of Miami's control. Denver kept pace early, as the teams combined for 70 points in the first quarter, but Miami's defense tightened thereafter. The second quarter saw a dramatic cooling, with just 56 combined points as Denver managed only 22. Nikola Jokić finished with 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Jamal Murray added 20 points with a team-high 11 assists and 6 rebounds, but neither could spark sustained offensive momentum. The third quarter exploded into the game's highest-scoring frame at 83 combined points, during which Miami extended its lead decisively. Norman Powell led Miami's charge with 25 points and 4 assists, while Nikola Jović contributed 22 points and 5 assists. Jaime Jaquez Jr. chipped in 20 points alongside 11 assists, orchestrating the Heat's attack with precision.

Denver's recent form—averaging 127.3 points over its last 10 games—suggested offensive firepower, but Miami's defense held them to 123 total. Their earlier head-to-head matchup on November 5th produced just 234 combined points; this rematch proved far more prolific, with the Heat's second-half onslaught turning the total decisively higher.
