Tonight the Utah Jazz take on the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets aren't expected to make much noise this season, while the Utah Jazz are 'supposed' to be 2nd best in the division. These two regional rivals share a mountain range, but perception of the two franchises and their immediate trajectories aren't so close. Looking at the stats, though, I can't help but notice that the Nuggets aren't horrible. At the very least in the preseason they are 4-2, while the Jazz are 2-4. As a result, it's not a bad idea to investigate just who we are playing tonight.
