Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Regular Season Record:
For the Nuggets, there’s really not much for them to play for in the 2022-23 NBA regular season. For one, they have already bagged the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Plus, they’re not going to catch the Milwaukee Bucks either for the best record overall in the league. That boat has sailed a long time ago.
All that being said, the Nuggets would love to pick up a win in their final road game of this regular season. Speaking of which, the Nuggets have covered the spread in three of their last six trips to Salt Lake City, dating back to 2020. Denver also won the last time it shared the floor with the Jazz, scoring a 115-110 victory at home back in December. The Nuggets boast of an ultra-efficient offense that is top two in both effective field goal percentage and field goal shooting percentage.
Betting on the Utah Jazz
- Regular Season Record: 36-44
The Jazz just want to finish the regular season on a positive note. In any case, Utah should be good enough to keep in step with a Denver squad that might be lacking the drive to win games this late in the campaign. Recent history also shows that the Jazz have done an admirable job of winning games against the Nuggets. Since January 2021, the Jazz have won seven of 10 meetings with Denver.
They have also covered the spread seven times in those contests. And while Utah has lost two of three games versus the Nuggets this season, they are 2-1 ATS in those contests. In the lone win they have against Denver this season, which was a 123-102 victory at home way back in October, the Jazz shot 50.6 FG% and went 16/38 from behind the arc. The Jazz have remained one of the most prolific 3-point shooting teams in the league, even by this era’s standards so Utah’s not going to shy away from launching deep shots.
JefeBet Prediction
The Jazz might look overmatched on paper, but the Nuggets haven’t really looked spectacular of late either. Denver even recently got stunned by the Houston Rockets. Picking the Jazz to win here.
Prediction: The Jazz win, 114-111.
