The Denver Nuggets vs. Utah Jazz game has been superb and it's not surprising we have made it into a Game 7. Tonight's winner advances to the Western Semifinals. The line on this game has sat around 1 with the two sides exchanging favorite status. Action was balanced.
The Jazz will enter this game at a bit of a disadvantage as they are just 2-7 Against The Spread in the last 9 meetings. The spreads have generally ranged from 1 to 2.5 across that span.
Nuggets star Jamal Murray continues to play a major role in his team's success up to this point.
He's averaging 34 points and has hit 72% at the rim, 61% on long 2s, and 57% on 3s.
Jamal Murray
Denver hopes Murray keeps producing these types of numbers. The third-seeded Nuggets will be attempting to advance for the first time ever in a best-of-seven in which they fell behind 3-1. Only 11 teams in the NBA's history have pulled off the series comeback from such a deficit.
The Denver bench was a huge difference-maker in Game 6, contributing 14 points and 26 rebounds to the win, as opposed to Utah's 21 points and five boards.
Utah has never failed to advance after leading a series 3-1.
The winner earns the right to tackle the second-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals.
