Jazz vs Nuggets Game 7 Predictions
The NBA playoffs have delivered incredible action up to this point. However, no series has delivered like the one between the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets. After an incredible game 6, this will be the first series since the restart to go to a game 7. The Jazz vs Nuggets Game 7 predictions have to include a look back at game 6, the betting consensus, and the basketball betting trends. Many experts predicted a deep run by Denver, but it all comes down to this game.
One player makes a difference
It may not have made headline news, but game six witnessed the return of Gary Harris to the floor for the Nuggets. His presence was felt on defense as he shut down the ball handlers for the Jazz and became bothersome on transition defense. Jamal Murray is rightfully getting all of the attention, but Harris is making an impact. The improved play on defense is the reason the Nuggets forced a game seven.

Jazz vs Nuggets Game 7 predictions
This is going to be a good game.
The Jamal Murray vs Donovan Mitchell battle alone will make this a must-watch.
The Nuggets have come back from a 3-1 deficit and they had to overcome double-digits in elimination games twice. The Jazz is frustrated as Rudy Gobert was seen kicking chairs because game 6 was a winnable game and they blew it. The only reason the Jazz led in game six is that they shot over 50 percent from beyond the arc in the first half. The Nuggets have to have big performances from Murray and Nikola Jokic to achieve victory and that has not been a problem. The two combined 65 or more in each of the Nuggets’ wins against the Jazz.
Jazz vs Nuggets pick against the spread
The Nuggets are better defensively with Harris in the lineup. It inspires others to play tougher defense by making better rotations and timely stops on defense. The Jazz are 2-7 against the spread (ATS) in the last nine meetings in this series. Murray is willing his team to victory and he will carry his team once again as they advance to the next round of the NBA playoffs.
Pick against the spread: Denver Nuggets +1
