The Nuggets have had a roller coaster season so far, but they are currently red-hot and are tied with the Bulls for the longest current winning streak at 5 games. Their offense has been on fire and that is not good facing a Utah team that has the worst record in the Western Conference.

Utah is 5-5 in their last 10 games and to win tonight they will have to play good defense, as their offense only ranks 27th in the league in scoring.

This is the 3rd meeting between these 2 teams this season, as each has won win each winning on the road.

In their last games the Nuggets won their 5th in a row with a 120-94 beat-down on the Orlando Magic while the Jazz lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-102.

The Nuggets have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games against the Jazz.

The Nuggets have the league’s 11th ranked scoring offense and in their winning streak they are averaging 17 more points than their season average.

Nuggets PG Randy Foye has been en fuego in Denver’s streak averaging 18.4 ppg and in the last 3 games he is averaging 21.7 ppg and has buried over 55% of his 3-pointers.
[ad-6571516]
Gordon Hayward leads the Jazz in scoring and had been playing well, before missing the last game with an injury. He is a question mark for tonight’s game and if he cannot go it will be a big blow.

Jazz C Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors are each averaging in double figures and are the 2 leading rebounders for the squad. They will have to hit the glass tonight since they are not a good rebounding squad. On the other side of the coin the Nuggets rank 4th in the league in rebounds per game.

The Nuggets have 6 players that are averaging in double figures and will face a Utah defense that ranks 18th in the league giving up an average of 101.1 ppg.

Betting Trends

The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games, 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.

The Jazz are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 home games, 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and they have an Over record of 12-5-1 in their last 18 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Jason’s Pick:

The road team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and that trend will continue. The Jazz defense will not be able to deal with the red-hot Denver offense and the Nuggets will win their 6th in a row tonight and they will also cover the spread.
