Premium Picks
Utah at Denver
Utah is seeking its first win and the Jazz are 4-1 UNDER this season, including their past four games when they failed to score 100 points three times. The Jazz stayed UNDER by 26 points while losing 106-88 to San Antonio on Thursday and shooting just 39 percent and missing 25 of 32 3-point shots. The Jazz scored only 35 points in the second half. Denver will be a tired team as it had to play last night at Minnesota and put on a furious fourth-quarter run before succumbing 119-116. The UNDER is 8-1 in the Nuggets' past nine home games. Seven of the past nine meetings have stayed UNDER and Denver is 8-4 UNDER as a favorite dating to last season. Take the UNDER.

Premium Picks
Denver at Utah
The Utah Jazz have certainly packed it in for the season. They are 29-49 and enter this game on a 12-game losing streak. They are losing by 15 PPG on average, and now they face a team battling for the top spot in the West, and this one could get ugly early. The Nuggets are tied for the top spot with the Minnesota Timberwolves and have a one-game lead over Oklahoma City. This isn't your typical "rest starters on the road" scenario for the Nuggets vs. a failing opponent. This is a bare down and make sure you get the win type of game. I like Denver to cover the big number.
