Moneyline (ML)
Series odds:
- Utah (-334)
- Denver (+260)
After winning Game 1 in overtime 135-125, the Jazz (-162) have trampled the Nuggets (+135) by a combined 56 points in Games 2 and 3.
Even though the Nuggets have been blown out in the past two games, the main reason is because they are shooting seven fewer threes per game than the Jazz in this series.
Utah is tied with the Houston Rockets for the most threes made per game in the postseason (18). But Denver is shooting the three-ball at the highest clip in the postseason (.443%). And a3-1 series deficit with no home games forthcoming would be a death sentence for Denver, so they'll play with a little desperation.
Also, Mike ConleyandGeorges Niangcombined for 11 of 14 on three-pointers.Donovan Mitchellwas the only other Jazz player to hit more than one three-pointer, and he only made two threes. Good luck on winning like that again in Game 4, Utah.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
Double-up your moneyline wager on theNUGGETS +3 (-110). I know each of the first three games has been decided by double digits, and the three-point bonanzas that these games turn into, but we'd be kicking ourselves if Utah squeaks by with a buzzer-beater, and we didn't have the spread as insurance.
The play would be $110 on the Nuggets +3, and if they win or lose by two or one points, a profit will be earned.
