Tip and bets
Utah failed to impress during the pre-season and lost one of their main attacking options, it will surely affect negatively on team's offensive performance. Denver played much better and gained an impressive form for the start of regular season. In our opinion, visitors have more offensive quality than the hosts at the current moment, so Nuggets should be able to record a comfortable victory.
Our prediction - Handicap (-7.5) on Denver
Latest head-to-head matches in Salt Lake City were low-scoring and we have a feeling that opponents won't score many points today. Utah are in a poor form, especially on offense. Visitors will try to put up a cautious performance at the start, we don't think that they will try too hard to crush the opponent.
Our second bet is on total under 221 points
