Preview, predictions, TV and injury report for tonight's Utah Jazz v Denver Nuggets game
NBATuesday, 09 April 2024 at 19:00
On a Tuesday day in the NBA where a total of 14 games will be played, Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets will face each other in a duel, a priori, very unequal, between two franchises of the Western Conference. Nikola Jokic and Collin Sexton will be the stars of the game.
The Nuggets will be the visitors in a must-win game. The Colorado franchise is in the fight for the first place in the West. Right now, it is occupied by Minnesota Timberwolves with a 54-24 record, although Denver has the same balance. Behind them, Oklahoma City Thunder is 3rd with 53-25, so it is also hooked to its two rivals.
The Jazz, on the other hand, arrive to the game with many absences. The Salt Lake City franchise has yet to cut its miserable streak of consecutive defeats, which now accumulates 12, although it is not really doing anything to stop it. With a 29-49 record and 12th in the West, their biggest aspiration is to get the highest possible pick in the NBA Draft 2024 lottery.
