The Jazz have some key injuries but are playing well without some of their best players and are putting up over 100 points in their last few games. They are putting some effort into their games, despite being on a losing streak. Denver needs the win to claim the number one spot for themselves and home advantage, so expect them to put up some points in this game. These two teams already played three times and they played to a combined, 212, 235 and 263, the last score being their most recent game in March as Denver takes two of their three games. Denver is getting some serious offensive firepower back for this game in Porter Jr., Strawther, Pope and Gordon. Both Murray and Jokic are listed as questionable but both should play for Denver which is good news in this must win game. Especially Murray coming back, who has missed several games. With the added players, look for an energized Nuggets team to put up lots of points. The Jazz have nothing to play for but they will probably get up for the champs, so expect another spirited effort from Utah as both teams should combine to go over this total as their series trends to the Over.

Best bet: take the Over the Total.
