Match Predict – Handicap (+1.5) for Nuggets
Donovan Mitchell’s injury has obviously weakened the Jazz, but the absence of Rudy Gobert is another problem. The star center-back is known for his quality defensive play and active rebounding.
Utah simply doesn’t have anyone to challenge Nikola Jokic, especially as even Hassan Whiteside is on the injured list.
Total Points – Over 219
The opponents have an attacking style of play, which means we expect to see a spectacle on the pitch. Both teams need points, so it’s unlikely that the Nuggets and Jazz will sit back on defense.
