(NBA) Denver vs. Utah, 10/18/2017 5:00 PM, Score: 96 - 106
Point Spread: 2.00 | 102.00 Denver (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Denver Nuggets.

Denver was 40-42 last year and missed the playoffs, while the Jazz were 51-31 and eliminated in the second round by Golden State. The Nuggets got off to a slow start and then got hit by the injury bug. The team is expected to make major strides this year though with its core group of players now healthy in Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets also signed Paul Millsap. Denver averaged 111.7 PPG, but gave up 111.2. Utah will take a major step back in our opinion now that Gordon Hayward is gone. Last year the team averaged just 100.7 PPG, so it's difficult to imagine where the offense is going to come? The defense was excellent though, ranked No. 1 in conceding just 96.8 PPG, led by big man Rudy Gobert in the middle. Note though that Denver is 5-0 ATS in its last five on teh road and 5-1 ATS in its last six against the Western Conference, while Utah is just 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven home games. We think the Nuggets' offense is a difference maker tonight and while an outright upset isn't out of the question, we'll recommend to grab the points. Play on the NUGGETS.
