(NBA) Denver vs. Utah,
Point Spread: -1.00 | -110.00 Denver (Away)
Result: Loss
I look for Denver to bounce back with a win Friday afternoon. They have the better overall team and a balanced attack on offense. Players love to score buckets in transition, and Jamal Murray is a beast when he gets to take off for Denver. His shot is steady from deep, knocking down 35% of his treys this season, and his shifty footwork on defense has been improving. This will be a good game - but I wouldn't be surprised if Utah struggles with the offensive rebounding of Denver here. Their 11 /game is nothing to sneeze at. If the bigs of Utah are not willing to hit the glass and bang down low - Utah going to struggle. The biggest part of the Jazz offense is the deep ball - and I’m not very optimistic about their PG running it, Mike Conley. He has been turnover prone and injury riddled over the last weeks worth of games, Conley has seemed to have lost some confidence more than some think. Denver gets the win here.
