Jazz vs. Nuggets Picks
Point Spread Pick for Jazz vs. Nuggets
- Denver Nuggets to cover. (4 Units)
The Nuggets have won six of their last seven games, while the Jazz have lost four of their last six games. Denver has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 124 points per game at home, while making 50 percent of their shots, while the Jazz make less than 45 percent of their shots on the road. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 83 percent of their free throws. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 11 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Jazz are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and they gave up more than 130 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Nuggets. Take Denver to cover the spread.
