The Utah Jazz have played up all season, but the 27-10 record is just third-best in the West. Right now Donovan Mitchell is dealing with a back injury but should play, but how effective will he be? Rudy Gobert has an injured shoulder and may miss tonight's contest. That represents their top two players and on the road in Denver is never easy, even with a full complement. The Nuggets have some injury issues of their own, but their top players are fine. Denver's record is understated right now as they have had 13 of their last 16 games on the road. They should be a much better team tonight at home and motivated to take on a strong, but hobbled opponent. Make the play on Denver on the moneyline.
