What you need to know about the Jazz
The oddsmakers set the bar high, but the Jazz and the Bucks didn’t disappoint and blew past the 242 point over/under on Monday. Utah enjoyed an impressive 132-116 victory over Milwaukee. The win made it back-to-back wins for the Jazz. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Jazz to victory, but perhaps none more so than Lauri Markkanen, who dropped a double-double on 21 points and 14 rebounds.
Markkanen continues to be a force for Utah, averaging 23.5 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game. His supporting cast is young, but talented. Guards Jordan Clarkson (17.4 points, 5.2 assists, 3.7 rebounds per game) and Collin Sexton (16.0 points, 3.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds per game) are among the team’s top performers.

What you need to know about the Nuggets
Meanwhile, Denver didn’t have too much trouble with Detroit at home on Sunday as they won 131-114. The success was a return to things as normal for the Nuggets, who in their previous outing suffered a shocking 122-120 upset defeat to the Orlando Magic. Jamal Murray was the offensive standout of the game as he scored 37 points along with five rebounds. Those 37 points set a new season-high mark for him.
Murray’s return from a nagging hamstring injury has been a huge boost for Denver on the offensive end. The former Kentucky standout averages 20.6 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game. Nikola Jokic is once again playing at an MVP level, and enters this matchup averaging 25.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 9.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. See which team to pick here.
