2008 Season NBA Basketball Past Picks

Utah has struggled on the road this season and Denver has been a good road team, but this is Utah-Denver. The Jazz have dominated the Nuggets recently, having won seven of the last nine including three of four here in Denver. The numbers indicate this should be a close game and while Utah is without some key players, eight points is too much. Utah owns a 41-24 ATS mark vs. winning teams since last season. And, under Jerry Sloan, the Jazz are 27-14 ATS on the road vs. offensive powerhouses (those teams scoring 103+ per game). I like Utah to keep this close.
