The Denver Nuggets will square off with the Utah Jazz at the Vivint Arena on Wednesday in the season opener for both teams. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Nuggets vs. Jazz odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Nuggets are coming off a 2021-22 season in which they posted a 48-34 record while C Nikola Jokic won his 2nd straight NBA MVP award. Denver was able to perform well last season despite not having PG Jamal Murray available, so his return this season should give the team a massive boost.
The Jazz had an active offseason in terms of trading away their All-Star players in SG Donovan Mitchell and C Rudy Gobert. Utah went 49-33 a season ago and it will be hard to replicate that success with a much different roster this season.
