Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets Prediction: the Nuggets will win in a very productive game

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Utah

The Jazz have won just seven of their 30 games in the current championship and are currently ahead of New Orleans in the Western Conference standings. The team has virtually no tournament prospects this season, as Utah is 8.5 wins away from the tenth spot in the West.

The Jazz played their previous game at home in Philadelphia, and put up the most serious resistance to their rival, but still lost by three points, 111:114. This defeat was Utah's third consecutive loss, and before that the Jazzmen lost to Portland (120:122) and Cleveland (113:124) on the road.

Denver

The Nuggets have very poor defense this season - at the level of championship outsiders. The team is allowing 117.4 points per game on average. Only six clubs allow more to opponents. However, given the presence of Nikola Jokic in the lineup, Denver often compensates for defensive shortcomings with the quality of offense, which the Nuggets have the third best offense in the league - 120.1 points per game. Denver is seventh in the Western Conference standings with a 17-13 balance and just 0.5 wins behind the playoff zone.

In the last game, the Nuggets' imbalance showed itself once again, but the Colorado team won 134:121 at home over Detroit.
