Prediction
Jazz 118, Nuggets 112
Moneyline (ML)
The JAZZ (-140) open this contest as slight moneyline favorites over the Nuggets (+115) in Game 6. Despite being the lower seed in this series, Utah appears to be the more talented roster and should be able to close out this Game 6.
Considering the odds, take Utah to win outright on Sunday evening.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The JAZZ -2.5 (-110) are one-basket favorites over the Nuggets Sunday evening. While it’s worth noting Denver has covered the spread in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams, the spread is so low it makes it easy to take Utah in this game.
The Jazz just have a higher ceiling than the Nuggets and have shown that in this series with their ability to dominate on both ends of the court. Take Utah to win and cover while advancing to the next round of the playoffs.
Over/Under (O/U)
The point total for Game 6 is set at 219.5 points after the Over has hit in back-to-back games in this series. Utah’s offense has been fairly consistent, scoring at least 107 points in every game. In fact, they have scored at least 124 points in four of the five games in this series. Denver’s offense has been less consistent, but the Nuggets have shown their potential by scoring 135 and 127 points in two games against the Jazz.
With both offenses having the ability to score in the 120s, take the OVER 219.5 (-110) in this critical Game 6.
