The Denver Nuggets will be back in action at Pepsi Center tonight as their division rival, the Utah Jazz, come to town. This is the first of four matchups between the two teams. The teams split the season series in 2017-18.
The Jazz come into tonight’s game with a 4-4 record having lost last night against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Jazz played without their star shooting guard, Donovan Mitchell, who sat out with hamstring soreness. Mitchell has been averaging 23.2 points so far this season.
The Nuggets are coming off of back-to-back road wins, beating Chicago and Cleveland on consecutive nights.
