Denver at Utah

The Nuggets need this one. With Memphis having lost last night, they can pull into a tie with the Grizzlies for the seventh spot. Kenyon Martin will not play once again, but Utah is missing their top two scorers and cannot match Denver's overall depth. Denver has had a day to rest which will help them here and George Karl will have his team ready, following a frustrating loss to Phoenix. In that game, there were a lot of points scored by both teams and road favorites in a game involving two average offensive teams (92-98 PPG) following a game with a combined score of 205 points or more hit at an incredible 79% clip ATS (23-6 over the last 5 seasons. In that role (after game of 205+), Denver is 16-16 ATS this season. Denver Two stars on the Nuggets.
