Denver Nuggets vs Utah Jazz

The Denver Nuggets have the series tied at one apiece but have to be careful against this Utah Jazz squad which could've been up 2-0 had they not fumbled the opportunity in overtime of the first game where they were outscored 10 to 20. The Utah Jazz has proven to be an obstacle so far for the Denver Nuggets who are coming off a blowout loss 124-105 in game 2 against the Utah Jazz. The Denver Nuggets have been without two of their starters, Will Barton and Gary Harris both out to injuries. The defense of the Nuggets has struggled as well as Paul Millsap who has been brought into question whether or not he should be benched in favor of Jerami Grant who would bring more athleticism to the table. Mike Conley will likely be returning should his COVID-19 test come back negative, this will likely send Juwan Morgan back to the bench but with his hustle and the coach's confidence in him he should play extended minutes from off the bench and turn into a key player off the bench very quickly. Both Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray have been excellent for their teams but as of this moment the Utah Jazz are deeper as Denver is without two of their starters, Utah wins straight up and goes over (218.5) yet again like they've done throughout series.
