League Pass spotlight: Heat vs. Nuggets

The Heat open up a five-game Western Conference road trip on Tuesday when they take on the Nuggets in the Mile High City.

Miami has formed quite the formidable trio of Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry. Early on, Lowry is making his stamp on the team, Adebayo is looking very much like a Defensive Player of the Year candidate and Butler has been Miami's early-season MVP.

Meanwhile, reigning league MVP Nikola Jokic is taking his game to another level and doing his part for a Nuggets team that will have very real championship aspirations once Jamal Murray returns to the lineup after suffering a torn ACL last season.

In Murray's absence, Will Barton, Aaron Gordon and Monte Morris are stepping up, while Michael Porter Jr. is looking to get back on track after struggling out of the gates this season.

This is the first of two regular-season meetings between Denver and Miami, but these teams could find themselves playing each other in the NBA Finals come June. You wouldn't want to miss a potential Finals preview, would you?
