The Denver Nuggets (8-6) will look for their fifth-straight victory tonight against the Utah Jazz (7-7), who are currently undefeated at home. Utah is coming off a disappointing loss in Sacramento on Saturday while Denver blew out New Orleans on Sunday. Denver beat Utah 104-84 on November 9.
Can Utah remain undefeated at home? AccuScore projections seem to think so. After 10,000 simulations, in which Utah won 52.7 percent of the time, the average score was 99.9-99.7 in favor of the Jazz. Utah is favored by 3.5 points, and the simulations suggest taking Denver and the points (successful in 57.2 percent of the simulations).
The total for the game is set at 200, and the simulations have it going UNDER that total 56.3 percent of the time. Note: The total has gone OVER in 4 of Denver’s last 5 games on the road. Both teams have similar probabilities at getting a close or big win, indicating that we’ll get an extremely close contest tonight.
It would seem as if the team playing a back-to-...

I was hopeful, even on the second leg of a back-to-back, that the Denver Nuggets would be able to edge a win in Utah, but unfortunately a combination visible (read: bad) officiating, missed free throws, an ejection, poor decision-making, and the stomach flu propelled Utah to a 105-103 win over Denver.

One thing about fast food, it may not be the healthiest thing in the world to eat. But it’s quick, it’s easy and it usually gets the job done.
