Jazz Nuggets Free Pick:
Here is my Jazz Nuggets free pick.
Although this should be an easy victory for the Nuggets, nothing is certain at this time of the season. Tanking teams have already secured their position and have nothing to lose, so this could easily turn into a trap game.
With the stretch run in full effect, the Nuggets became the first Western club to complete their games against the opposite conference where they amassed an 18-12 record.
That said, Denver appears to be on a roll of late, and now that they are healthy, they can focus on improving their defense, especially with Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson back.
With that, I’ll take the Nuggets to win big by covering the spread.
