Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz Prediction

The Denver Nuggets have the rest advantage and Nikola Jokic is back in the mix. The Utah Jazz played last night and showed no life defensively against the Spurs. It's just hard to get behind the Jazz with confidence. The Nuggets beat the Jazz by 26 points earlier this month. The Nuggets have won 6 of the last 8 games against the Jazz, and 5 of those wins were blowouts. Thick line but for good reason. The Jazz are awful. I'll lay the points with the Nuggets.
