The Denver Nuggets welcome the Utah Jazz for their first meeting of the ongoing NBA season. They enter this game with the third-best record in the Western Conference and are 10 games above the Jazz in 12th. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Nuggets are seeking to return to winning ways after falling to the Rockets at home last time out. Their second fixture against Houston in less than a week snapped a run of six successive wins.

The Nuggets, who have won the last six meetings with the Jazz, have won 20 of 27 games this season. They are one of only five teams to have won at least 20 games so far. Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun remain sidelined with injuries.

The Jazz are also seeking to get back to winning ways. Will Hardy’s men, who’ve made significant improvements this term, have lost their last two fixtures.

Utah had a disappointing end to a three-game homestand, losing to the Lakers and Magic. The loss to Orlando came in OT, their second fixture to go into extra time in the last week.

Through 27 matches, the Jazz have won 10 times and hover outside the play-in places. They have surprisingly registered seven of their total victories in 10 duels with teams that are above .500. Lauri Markkanen missed the game against Orlando with a groin problem.
