Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King in NBA Predictions
The 3-0 Denver Nuggets play host to the 1-2 Utah Jazz for this Mountain West matchup in the NBA on Monday night. The defending champion Nuggets have picked up right where they left off last season with three straight wins to start the year. Their most recent outing was a dominant 128-95 away win over the upstart Thunder which saw an encouraging performance from some of the Denver bench players. The Nuggets will now return to the Ball Arena for their second home game of the year after their 119-107 win over the Lakers to open the campaign. Denver has been shooting lights-out from the field in their first three games and lead the NBA in field goal percentage (53.2%) and are fifth in three-point percentage (39.8%). Jokic and Murray in particular seemingly can’t miss at the moment and are shooting 61.5% (45.5% from three) and 54.5%, (53.3% from three) respectively.
A 126-104 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Saturday means that the Jazz have now started the season with just one win in their first three games. Utah pulled off an impressive 120-118 victory over the Clippers on their home floor but were quickly brought back down to Earth on the road. This will now be Utah’s second straight road game and they face a huge challenge if they are to get the better of Denver. As has often been the case with the Jazz over the years, they tend to achieve their best results in the high-altitude of Salt Lake City but struggle when playing in other teams’ gyms. Utah finished with a respectable 23-18 home record last season which diminished to 14-27 on the road. Their 104 points away at Phoenix was well below their average of 117.1 per game from last season.
