Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz Prediction
The Nuggets are healthy and winning games but they’re still 4-6 ATS in their last 10 games. The Nuggets are also 2-6 ATS as a double-digit favorite since January 17. I’ll also keep saying it but the Jazz are 39-37 ATS on the season. You can make money betting on the Jazz. I just don’t see the motivation for the Nuggets to lay the wood with the Jazz. This feels like a win and get out situation, while the Jazz keep hanging around and cashing checks. I’ll grab the points with the home team, as oddsmakers have inflated Utah’s numbers all season.
Randy Chambers's Pick: Utah Jazz +17.5
