Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Nuggets have the ability to blow the doors off here, but they’re also a veteran team that’s trying to stay healthy and gets no brownie points for taking it to the tanking Jazz. It’s a win-and-get-out situation. We saw these teams play earlier this month and it was close for the most part. The Jazz has cashed 37 tickets for what it’s worth. Also, since November 3, the Nuggets are 3-11 ATS as a double-digit favorite and 4 of those failed covers were outright losses. Endless amount of points here, folks. Give me the Jazz.
