Home Cookin – Utah Jazz at Denver Nuggets<\/h2>\n

Nuggets To Narrowly Cover Against ATS Struggling Jazz Tonight \u2013 Utah at Denver<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Utah Jazz (46-28 SU, 37-37 ATS, 36-37 O\/U) had their two-game winning streak snapped in its 125-104 rout at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Utah failed to cover the spread<\/strong><\/a> as a 6-point road underdog while the 229 combined points played well over the 194-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n

Veteran forward Carlos Boozer scored a team-high 20 points in the loss.<\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets (49-26 SU, 40-34-1 ATS, 38-37 O\/U) beat the New York Knicks 111-104 on Tuesday to stretch their SU winning streak to four games but failed to cover the spread 12-point home favorites just as I predicted that day.<\/p>\n

High-scoring forward Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 29 points while the final score played under the 221-point Over\/Under total.<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a look at tonight\u2019s key NBA trends, followed by my in-depth analysis and NBA Free Picks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utah is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing Denver
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 4 of Utah’s last 5 games when playing Denver
\nUtah is 17-5 SU in its last 22 games
\nThe total has gone OVER in 5 of Utah’s last 7 games when playing on the road against Denver
\nDenver is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games at home
\nDenver is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games
\nThe total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver’s last 5 games
\nDenver is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games<\/p>\n

NBA Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Utah Jazz +5 -110
\nDenver Nuggets -5 -110<\/p>\n

Over 208 -110
\nUnder 208 -110<\/p>\n

Analysis:<\/strong> The Denver Nuggets have covered the spread in three straight against the Jazz while the Under has played out in four straight matchups between these ballclubs.<\/p>\n

I like the Nuggets to win this contest and narrowly cover the spread against a Jazz team that looked totally lost and uninterested against the Blazers their last time out.<\/p>\n

Take the Nuggets to win and cover the spread narrowly.<\/p>\n
