Nuggets vs. Jazz Prediction and Odds for NBA Summer League (Fade Both Horrible Offenses)
By Peter Dewey
The Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz are both 2-2 in the Las Vegas Summer League heading into their final matchup on Sunday.
Both of these teams are in the bottom seven in the league in plus/minus in the Vegas Summer League, and the Jazz don’t have a ton of young talent on display even after the Rudy Gobert trade.
In a battle between two division rivals, who comes out on top?

Nuggets vs. Jazz Prediction and Pick
These are the two lowest-scoring teams in the Vegas Summer League, and their offensive numbers have been pretty putrid over the last week and change.
Nuggets vs. Jazz Offensive Comparison
Points Per Game
- Jazz: 73.5
- Nuggets: 78.3
Field Goal Percentage
- Jazz: 34.4%
- Nuggets: 40.8%
3-Point FG Percentage
- Jazz: 26.3%
- Nuggets: 27.6%
Luckily this is just the Summer League, because those are some ugly, ugly numbers.
The Jazz are favored despite their terrible shooting, which tells me they’re going to need a low-scoring game to get it done.
Rather than back a side, I’m going to bet on both offenses continuing to struggle and take the UNDER on Sunday.
Lean: UNDER 167.5 (-110)
