Denver Nuggets

  • ’17-18 Record: 46-36
  • ’17-18 Season Series: 2-2
  • ’18-19 Advantage: Neutral

This is a match-up that I personally can’t wait to watch next season. The Jazz and the Denver Nuggets are both top-five teams in the Western Conference, in my opinion.

Denver is not going to be a good match-up for the Jazz. They could have the best offense in the league. They will run you out of the gym, plus they have the altitude on their side. The Nuggets, if healthy, are scary good.

Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert are two of the best centers in basketball. Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell are comparable. When these two teams meet, it’s going to be fun, but certainly not easy. The Jazz are going to have to earn these wins.
