Denver at Utah

The Denver Nuggets have been absent from the playoffs for three consecutive seasons, and at 7-12 are heading in the wrong direction once again. Despite all that, this team has played above the line at 11-8 ATS on the season. They will be seeing the Utah Jazz for the third time in their last eight games, and they have split the first two meetings. They may be catching the Jazz at the right time, as George Hill is likely out, and Rodney Hood is questionable with a hamstring injury. Utah saw a four-game winning streak come to an end last night at home to Miami by a single point. That opens the door to a situation that is 51-15 ATS, and it is with the Nuggets in this one. Take the points on Denver.
