Utah Jazz:

Utah Jazz started the season with wins. Quin Snyder’s men defeated Oklahoma Thunders, 107-86, and Sacramento Kings, 110-101, in their opening games. The key to the Jazz’s success was reliable play under the basket. After all, even the speedy Kings were unable to impose their style of play on the Jazz players.

Lately, Utah has been playing well against Denver. The Jazz players have been particularly good at home. For example, Snyder’s team won 3 of their 4 games against the Nuggets at home.

Denver Nuggets:

Denver Nuggets had a good start in the regular season. In their first two games, the Nuggets defeated Phoenix Suns, 110-98, and San Antonio Spurs, 102-96. But after that, they couldn’t even beat the Cleveland Cavaliers (87-99).

Jamal Murray won’t play in this game. He’s been injured for a while now, so Mike Malone will have to figure out who will replace the Canadian. Of course, with Jamal in the lineup, it would be a lot easier against Utah. But, unfortunately, he won’t be there.

Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets statistics:

The Utah Jazz has 17 assists per game on average in the current regular season. You can bet on the first team’s individual total of assists under 21.5.

The Nuggets have lost their first quarter in 3 of their last 5 games.

Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets Tips:

Denver Nuggets are playing poorly in Salt Lake City. The Nuggets often lose at Vivint Smart Home Arena. This meeting is likely to be no exception. Utah Jazz players are too good at home.

Our first prediction and bet is Jazz’s easy win with the -5.5 points handicap with the odds of 1.69.

The Utah Jazz’s defense is too good. They’ve proven that in their recent games. It’s unlikely Quin Snyder will change his tactics. Jazz will once again try to close all open spaces and not give their opponent too much space under the basket.

Without Murray, opening up the home team’s defensive midfield will be difficult.

Most likely, a slow game awaits us.

Our second prediction is total match points under 220.5 with the odds of 1.72 with the VBet bookmaker.
