Game Prediction
This is a game in which the Nuggets may or may not elect to go full throttle. At this point, it looks like they are electing to take it easy for the rest of the regular season. This is the only reason why I am not picking them to cover the spread. If even most of the starters were guaranteed to play regular minutes, then of course I would pick them to win by a large margin. However, it’s unknown who will play and to what extent players will play. Therefore, for that simple reason, I’m selecting the Utah Jazz to only cover this spread.
Final Pick
Utah Jazz +15 (-112)
