There's no reason to believe the Jazz will be able to keep this game within 10, given the poor quality of bench when the starters leave the court (and the starters aren't that good either). They got their first win vs the Clippers thanks to a Godly double double effort from Lauri Markkenen, but it remains to be seen what direction this Jazz team is taking defensively as no opponent so far has scored less than 118 points and that leading into another bad defensive year for the Jazz who were bottom tier of the league last season. Denver has picked up where they left off, having not lost and is back to strong dominant wins at home in the Cold Denver Fortress. Denver by bludgeoning.
