Added to Calendar: 01-10-24

Seriously though, it wouldn't surprise me if Denver rests somebody for this game. They have a penchant for trying to game the standings, and the Jazz displacing the Lakers or the Wariors would be fine by them.

May be to early in the season for that type of stuff though. . .

No one is gaming the standings in January ...
 
My prediction is ... Game better be good or I fall asleep before it ends. I have no read on us right now... could be a Boston stinker or a Bucks surprise.

The Nuggets have been winning, but not all blowouts and some close (at least on paper) wins to mediocre-ish teams. So there is hope it isn't a terrible game.

Just think Utah is probably due for a letdown performance after a great road trip (that was great on the back of injury luck, let's not kid ourselves). If the Jazz win tonight, it's going to be on the backs of Lauri/Clarkson. Don't think the Dunn gimmick works against the Nuggs.

Could see Sexton going off too. Or I could see him getting benched because the Nuggs expose him on D.
 
I predict a solid win but it’s going to take yeoman’s work from the head of the snake on defense - Kessler and Dunn.

Best bet is spread the floor against Jokic and hope your offense guys goes off early and then hope Walker can dominate the non-Jokic minutes defensively. Then hope Walker can give you like 5 good minutes against Jokic.

I expect extended minutes from Kessler on Jokic. Nobody else stands a chance in single coverage.

Kessler doesn't stand a chance either. Best to maximize the non Jokic minutes and try to make him play D on the other end. Of course you need some minutes from Walker on Jokic, but Jokic is going to eat regardless of who you put on him.

Ya that flukey buzzer beater by jokic against the warriors comes to mind.
