Jazz vs Nuggets: Betting Prediction

The Jazz have a 7-3 record against the Nuggets in their last ten meetings. However, injuries to key players, especially Lauri Markkanen, have affected their form. Denver, meanwhole, seems to be picking up their pace at the right moment and hosting the game also gives them a slight advantage.

Their last six meetings have not crossed the total mark, so expect this game to be close, but the home team should win.

Final Prediction: Total Under 233 (-110)
