Bet on Nuggets vs. Jazz

The Jazz haven't been the same team defensively since Rudy Gobert (knee) went down with an injury, but their offensive efficiency has been solid. Denver can also fill it up and have enough playmakers ot overcome the loss of Paul Millsap (wrist) on offense. but his presence will be very much missed on the defensive end. This total seems a little low and we like the over here.
