Nuggets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 125, Jazz 105

Moneyline

The Nuggets are in a battle for the No. 1 seed in the West having won 18 of their last 23 games against a team already eliminated from contention and having lost 12 in a row and 15 of 16.

The Nuggets have everything to play for and the Jazz nothing but pride, and that clearly hasn’t helped them win.

Nothing about the matchup suggests upset win for the Jazz, so no need to bet them and it is a waste to bet the Nuggets at -1200.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Jazz covered the spread in their loss on Sunday to the Warriors, but their previous 3 losses were by 16 or more points, all to playoff-bound teams.

Three of the Nuggets’ last 4 wins have been by at least 22 points.

BET NUGGETS -14.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Jazz have allowed 118 or more points in 6 of their last 8 games for an average 123.3 points per game and 5 of the Jazz’ last 6 games have had totals higher than 225 points.

Denver scored 128 or more in 3 of its last 4 wins.

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

Nuggets at Jazz picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 108, Jazz 103

Moneyline

The Nuggets (-275) will cost you over 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite risky since the team has several injury concerns at key positions.

For the Jazz (+210), they can’t be trusted, either, as Markkanen and Sexton are each sidelined.

PASS, as there is just too much uncertainty on both sides.

Against the spread

The JAZZ +6.5 (-105) have covered 4 of the past 5 games overall. Even with Markkanen and Sexton sidelined, playing at home should be enough to keep Utah within striking distance in this game.

The Nuggets -6.5 (-110) will also have difficulty on the offensive end with key pieces missing and/or banged up.

Over/Under

UNDER 226.5 (-110) is the play, as Jokic would be a huge loss for the Nuggets, and potential Over bettors, if he were to sit. In fact, the top 4 scores for Denver are listed as questionable, so that’s not good for anyone looking to go high on the total.

Markkanen is averaging 25.6 PPG with 8.6 RPG to lead the team, and Sexton is 3rd on the team with 14.3 PPG. They’re both listed as out, so it’s uncertain where Utah will get its scoring. Go low on the total.

Denver Nuggets at Utah Jazz odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Denver Nuggets at Utah Jazz odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Denver Nuggets will square off with the Utah Jazz at the Vivint Arena on Wednesday in the season opener for both teams. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Jazz odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Nuggets are coming off a 2021-22 season in which they posted a 48-34 record while C Nikola Jokic won his 2nd straight NBA MVP award. Denver was able to perform well last season despite not having PG Jamal Murray available, so his return this season should give the team a massive boost.

The Jazz had an active offseason in terms of trading away their All-Star players in SG Donovan Mitchell and C Rudy Gobert. Utah went 49-33 a season ago and it will be hard to replicate that success with a much different roster this season.

Prediction

Nuggets 111, Jazz 99

Moneyline

You can go ahead and PASS on the moneyline in this contest with Denver being heavy favorites on the road. The risk that comes with taking the Nuggets at their current odds to win is not worth the minimal return you’ll receive.

Against the spread

While I won’t take Denver’s moneyline, NUGGETS -7.5 (-110) seems like an ideal wager in this game. The Nuggets have the 2-time reigning MVP in Jokic and they have Murray returning to provide the team with more scoring.

On the other hand, the Jazz have a bunch of new pieces that are going to need time to get acclimated to begin the season. Even with scorers like SG Collin Sexton, SG Jordan Clarkson, and SF Lauri Markkanen, Utah likely doesn’t have enough to keep up with Denver.

Over/Under

The UNDER 224.5 (-110) seems like the bet in this matchup with the Nuggets and Jazz both being 20th or worse in pace a season ago. Denver prefers to run its half-court offense through Jokic, which should slow the game down on Wednesday.

Nuggets at Jazz odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nuggets 121, Jazz 116

Money line

The Nuggets had won five games in a row before Tuesday’s loss and they have won seven of their last 10 games. Denver has won eight of its last 11 road games.

The Jazz are scuffling and will be without their two best players again in Mitchell and Gobert. Utha will struggle to match up against Jokic with Gobert sidelined.

Take the NUGGETS (+105).

Against the spread

The Nuggets are 21-29 ATS overall this season, but the Jazz have an almost identical record against the spread at 21-29-1.

Denver has covered the spread in three of its last four games but is 3-6 ATS in its last nine, while Utah is 2-11 ATS through its last 13 outings and 5-18 ATS across its last 23 games.

Take the NUGGETS +1.5 (-107).

Over/Under

Nine of the last 11 games for the Nuggets have gone Over the projected total.

Three of the last four for the Jazz have hit the Over but they are 4-6 O/U in their last 10 games. They have allowed 115 or more points in three of their last four games.

The Nuggets have averaged 120.8 points per game in their last eight.

Take OVER 226.5 (-108).

Prediction

Jazz 108, Nuggets 102

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Jazz are second in the league in defensive rating and the Nuggets have struggled more offensively than one would imagine, averaging just 99.7 points per game.

While Jokic is the reigning MVP, the Jazz have the defense to show him with C Rudy Gobert — the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. They were a league-best 35-7 at home last season and are 1-0 there so far this year, but the money line doesn’t have enough value to be worth a bet.

Against the spread

The Jazz have covered the spread in both games they have played this season. They had a league-best 65.8% home cover percentage last year.

The Nuggets have failed to cover the spread in their last two games, but have not allowed an opponent to score 100 or more points this season. That will keep Denver in a close game.

Take the NUGGETS +7.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Neither team has had a game hit the Over this season. As noted, the Nuggets have not had an opponent crack 100 points and they are averaging only 99.7 points per game themselves.

The Jazz’s highest total so far this season is 211 points.

Take UNDER 219.5 (-112).
