At the onset of the week are grave concerns about the Utah Jazz. Utah is falling like a rock and is without its two top players. Rebound machine Rudy Gobert and leading scorer Donovan Mitchell are out. Of major concern to gamblers is the NBA betting red ink being gushed by the Jazz. Utah has lost its once-massive lead over the Nuggets in the Northwest Division. Although the Nuggets dominate on the hardwood, they are not providing value on the board. The Nuggets are showing vast defensive improvement over last year.
