Nuggets To Narrowly Cover Against ATS Struggling Jazz Tonight – Utah at Denver
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.
Utah failed to cover the spread as a 6-point road underdog while the 229 combined points played well over the 194-point O/U total.
Veteran forward Carlos Boozer scored a team-high 20 points in the loss.
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.
High-scoring forward Carmelo Anthony scored a team-high 29 points while the final score played under the 221-point Over/Under total.

Over 208 -110
Under 208 -110
Analysis: 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.
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.
Take the Nuggets to win and cover the spread narrowly.
