Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets
Sunday, January 17, 2010 – 9:00 PM ET on ESPN
Even without Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, the Nuggets completed an impressive victory in Salt Lake City earlier this month. They beat the Jazz by 10 points in a 105-95 victory. Anthony and Billups are both back and will be needed to play a Jazz team that has won 5 out of their last 6 games. The Nuggets are listed at -7 with the over/under at 212.
Although still a couple months away, the Nuggets have their eyes on the playoffs and a second consecutive division title. They’re still far from both and will need a win tonight to build some mid-season momentum. Utah, with momentum already working in their favor, are hoping to redeem themselves by taking their first win over Denver this season after losses in October and early January. They’re also looking to break a three game losing streak at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The two teams will meet up again on February 6th in Utah.
Stats to consider:
The Utah Jazz are ranked 15 in scoring offense 100.5 points per game. They are ranked 11 in defense giving up 96.8 points per game.
The Nuggets are ranked number 3 in scoring offense with 107 points per game. They are ranked 22 in defense allowing 101.7 points per game.
