Denver at Utah

The Utah Jazz have certainly packed it in for the season. They are 29-49 and enter this game on a 12-game losing streak. They are losing by 15 PPG on average, and now they face a team battling for the top spot in the West, and this one could get ugly early. The Nuggets are tied for the top spot with the Minnesota Timberwolves and have a one-game lead over Oklahoma City. This isn't your typical "rest starters on the road" scenario for the Nuggets vs. a failing opponent. This is a bare down and make sure you get the win type of game. I like Denver to cover the big number.
