Utah at Denver

The playoffs are typically the time where you see teams bogged down in half-court sets, and games scoring inordinately low points. Neither of these teams have been built to play that way, and we saw that in game one where 239 points were scored between them. The Jazz have become more offensive than even the Nuggets. The Jazz, excluding a no-show season finale, have scored 111.1 points per game in their last 24, and giving up an equal 111 ppg in their last eight. The Nuggets showed a year ago, and through game 1 this year, that they aren't about to change their style in the playoffs. They averaged over 110 ppg a year ago in seven home playoffs games, and 123 in game one this season. The Jazz are now 31-15-1 to the OVER in their last 47 as a road dog, and four straight played in Denver have topped the total. I'll go with the OVER in this one.
