Denver at Utah 9:00 ET
Nuggets (+) over Jazz- These are a pair of clubs that I believe are moving in opposite directions as the Nuggets have added quality in the off-season and Utah has had defections that they just can't compensate for. Gone are All-star forward Gordon Hayward their top scorer the last four seasons and George Hill their second leading scorer. To make up for this the Jazz signed points guard Ricky Rubio who has offensive short-comings. Denver was one of the hottest teams down the stretch last season missing then playoffs by one game and now they have added Paul Millsap. Utah finished 20-games over .500 last season and were 5-0 in the pre-season and now at home they are favored by less then a 3-point bucket. The tide has turned. Take DENVER!
