Continuing to be the best home spread bet in the NBA, the Denver Nuggets will look to keep rewarding bettors when they take the court against the Utah Jazz tonight. The Nuggets are 22-9 ATS in 31 home games this season and have covered in eight of their last nine at the Pepsi Center. The Jazz are coming off a grueling game vs the Clippers last night and have lost their last five games in Denver by an average of 14.1 points.
The Nuggets opened as 7-point favorites with a total of 223.

My Best Bet for Jazz vs Nuggets
Nuggets -7
Denver is the safest bet in the NBA when playing at home and I can’t see the Nuggets getting rolled over by a gassed Jazz squad. The Jazz have failed to cover the spread in their last five games in Denver and are 2-5 ATS in seven games on the back end of a back-to-back. I know some bettors will be hesitant on backing the Nuggets in this spot but they own the second-best point differential in home games at +12.2. I think this line will shift to -8 before tipoff so if you’re on the Nuggets, get on them as quickly as you can.
