Match Previews:

Denver Nuggets is set to take on Utah Jazz in NBA 2021-22 on Thursday, 06 January 2022 at 08:30 AM IST

Acquiring 18 wins and 17 losses, the Nuggets are fifth in the Western Conference standings and totally in the Playoff scene.

This is due to Nikola Jokic’s high level of play and heavy-duty minutes. Once again, the team has missed Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray, one key defender(Porter) and the other key shot-creator(Murray).

Not having these two have disrupted the balance on both ends and that is why the Nuggets look short on depth during many games.

The bigger trouble has been Monte Morris’ absence who could at least keep perimeter defenses busy.

Still, Aaron Gordon has picked up his offense, while Will Barton despite his falling offensive production has given the team all-around production.

Meanwhile, JaMychal Green, Jeff Green, Bones Hyland, Austin Rivers, and Davon Reed have been decent options.

There is no doubt that the Utah Jazz has been one of the most if not the healthiest team in the league.

But now with their premier reserve Joe Ingles in the health & safety protocols, along with Rudy Gobert and Bojan Bogdanovic being questionable, the team’s depth can be challenged.

Still, if Mitchell is good to go, watch out for his big-time offense, Jordan Clarkson can also produce high-yielding offense and Mike Conley complements the guard trio well here.

Perhaps with Gay in the fray, the team can have a stretch-three/four and the Jazz can still field an intimidating offense.

But yes, if Gobert is missing then stopping Jokic will surely be a hassle. What will see from the Jazz team here?
