Premium Pick

Utah was embarrassed in the last meeting as the Nuggets won a blowout 107-83 on Dec. 26. The Jazz shot just 32.1 percent and made only 10 of 35 3-point shot attempts. Denver lost its next two games before beating Phoenix on Wednesday with Gary Harris exploding for 36 points and Trey Lyles adding 16 points and 11 rebounds and the Nuggets shot a blistering 62.2 percent. Denver can't stay that hot two games in a row and the Jazz defense allows a .463 field goal percentage and the Nuggets average 46.6 percent from the field. Utah had a big win over Cleveland before losing to the Pelicans. The Jazz is 13-5 ATS the last 18 meetings and the Nuggets are 5-11-1 ATS their last 17 games after an ATS win. Utah will attempt to avenge its earlier loss at Denver. Take the points with the Jazz.
