Utah enters play with a 6-4 record over its last 10 games and is a solid 7-3 against the spread during that stretch. As for Denver, the Nuggets have dropped six of 10 and are just 3-7 at the betting window over that 10-game span.
The Jazz continue to play outstanding defensively and while they’re not shooting well, the Nuggets offer a golden opportunity for Utah to find its scoring touch. That’s because Denver has allowed its last three opponents to average 112 points per game and even though the Nuggets held San Antonio to just 98 points on Friday night, the Spurs were resting most of their starters.
