Nuggets vs Jazz Pick

Denver F Aaron Gordon (hamstring) did not suit up for Sunday’s loss and is unlikely to play in this contest. The Nuggets rank in the bottom third of the league in defensive efficiency and are hard to trust as double-digit road favorites. Look for Denver to win in a game that soars over the robust total. Final Score Prediction, Denver Nuggets win 132-122.
