Utah Jazz

The Jazzmen were hit hard by injuries to two key players. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell play an important role in the team, however, the first is still in the infirmary and the second is close to returning to the floor.

Utah lost five games in a row, that is, they drove themselves into a difficult situation. The club stayed on the fourth line of the Western Conference, that is, not all is lost. The Jazz lost in the last meeting to Minnesota (106-126), but sooner or later the black streak must end.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets are doing their best to stay in the playoff zone. We can say that the team works to the last, but from time to time Nikola Jokic cannot physically stand it and the philosophy of Michael Melone does not work right away, because the game is built around the forward.

In the last meeting Denver visited the Target Center arena, where the series of five victories ended. The team failed to cope with the Minnesota attack (115-130), as Karl-Anthony Towns and Thorin Prince showed a fantastic result and scored 47 points for two. The Nuggets are in for another tough outing this time in Salt Lake City.

Prediction

Denver reeled after a five-game losing streak, plus injured Nikola Jokic, whose participation in the next game is in doubt. The Nuggets are well aware that the opponent is more motivated than ever, especially since the game will take place at the Vivint Smart Home Arena.

The unsuccessful Utah streak has dragged on, so Quin Snyder needs to change something or wait for the leaders to return to the parquet. We assume that this time the "jazzmen" will play more aggressively and squeeze the maximum out of this confrontation.

Our prediction is that Utah Jazz will win with overtime for odds of 1.84 in 1xBet bookmaker.

The opponents profess an attacking style of play, that is, we expect to see a spectacle on the floor. Both teams need points, so it is unlikely that the "nuggets" and "jazzmen" will sit on the defensive.

Second bet is for a total over 219.5 points for 1.51.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.84.
