There’s no rest for the weary or the injury-depleted, as the Utah Jazz (34-26) travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets (42-18) in the dreaded Denver back-to-back. To make matters worse, the Nuggets played a home game Tuesday and had yesterday off, giving them a clear advantage in this one. The cherry on top of the sewer sundae is that Utah will be without a point guard, as Ricky Rubio and Raul Neto have both been ruled out with hamstring tightness.
The only good news from the schedule is that this is a late tip-off.
