Jazz at Nuggets: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Jazz 113, Nuggets 110
Money line (ML)
PASS on the money line in favor of better value on the spread.
Against the spread (ATS)
The payout on the money line and the spread are nearly identical in this game as the JAZZ -1.5 (-110) are favored by less than a basket. If you like Utah, it’s best to opt for the slightly better value on the spread, where they’ll need to win by at least 2 points.
Utah has won 11 straight games and is playing fantastic basketball over the last three weeks. Denver is playing well, as well, as it has won five of its last six games. Expect this to be a close game throughout as these are two of the best teams in the Western Conference. Expect the Jazz to get the win in this contest.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 219.5 (-110) is the smart play here as both offenses rank inside the top-10 scoring. Both squads are averaging over 113 points per game this season and if each side can come anywhere close to their scoring average, the Over should hit with ease.
