Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets CashBet Wagering Analysis

Fans are excited to see how Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray matchup once again after having a very intense shootout in last year’s playoffs. Things are different now for the Utah Jazz and they are very healthy as compared to last year. The Denver Nuggets lost a few key pieces but they managed to bounce back from a rough start this season.

Hottest Streak Holders

The Utah Jazz is now on top of the NBA after the Los Angeles Lakers and LA Clippers slipped for the past week. They own an 11-game winning streak and what is impressive is that they didn’t have Donovan Mitchell for the past two games against the Dallas Mavericks and still managed to prevail. Rudy Gobert is living up to his enormous contract given to him and has become a vital cog in the Jazz system. Bojan Bogdanovic is getting his hot hand rolling again while Jordan Clarkson is the best candidate to get the Sixth Man Award for this season. Things are going up for the team and a victory over the Denver Nuggets will even solidify their confidence heading further. 

Joker is Finally Getting Help

Nikola Jokic has been doing a lot recently for the team and his nightly triple-doubles are not enough. The team is slowly getting their key pieces back with Paul Millsap getting more warmed up while Michael Porter Jr. is also shaking off some rust. Jamal Murray has been playing subpar than what is expected but guys like Gary Harris and Monte Morris have been stepping up and improving well on their given roles. The Nuggets are now the fourth-best team in the NBA Western Conference and have won 7 of their last three matches. That includes a five-game winning streak but it was snapped during their most recent match against the San Antonio Spurs.

Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets Head-to-Head with Spread

Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray will be the matchup everyone is expecting to watch but it all now depends on how Nikola Jokic’s numbers can be minimized by the league’s former defensive player of the year in Rudy Gobert. Jordan Clarkson will be vital for the Jazz while Michael Porter Jr. can erupt anytime.

It all boils down to how healthy Donovan Mitchell is right now. He is coming off from a concussion but with the team prevailing without him, it is going to be a tough battle for the Denver Nuggets to earn this win. Unline what is seen in Top Online Sportsbook, the gut feeling is that the Jazz will come out on top with the score around 110-101.
