Denver's three-point shooting numbers are among the best in the NBA, as the team ranks 5th in the NBA, having hit 37.9% of their looks from deep. But given that they are just 30th in possessions per game, their overall scoring numbers are closer to the league average. Currently, the Nuggets are 1st in overall field goal percentage.

Opposing teams have a field goal percentage of 47.1% and have knocked down 34.4% of their three-point attempts. The Nuggets also rank 1st in the NBA for defensive rebounds. However, when it comes to forcing turnovers, Denver is only 17th, with 13.8 turnovers forced per game.

To make matters worse, they have seen a drop in production lately, averaging just 100 points per contest over their last five games.

Their overall field goal percentage of 50.4% places them 1st in the NBA.
Defensively, the Heat are one of the top units in basketball in large part due to their ability to force turnovers.
