It’s a rather quiet Sunday in the NBA with just 4 games being played, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go for another same-game parlay, right? After all, I have cashed 3 of them in the last 7 days.
I have prepared a bet for the Jazz vs Nuggets game tipping off at 8:00 pm ET, you’ll find it below. Be sure to also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Sunday’s 4-game slate.
Let’s get into it!
Denver Nuggets 1 – 10 Win Margin (+260)
Bojan Bogdanovic to Score 20+ Points (+146)
Nikola Jokic to Record 10+ Assists (+144)
Parlay odds: +1856
Denver Nuggets 1 – 10 Win Margin (+260)
Even though the Nuggets are coming off back-to-back wins against the Blazers and Lakers by 32 and 37 points, I think we are in for a lot closer game tonight. The average margin of victory in the 2 games played this season between the 2 teams is 9 points with the Jazz winning both meetings. However, they’ve been in a funk lately losing 4 straight against not so good teams. Although Rudy Gobert is finally returning to the line-up tonight, it’s time for the Nuggets to get one over them. Denver is 7-3 SU in their last 10 games, against Western Conference teams they’ve won 4 of 5 and vs the Jazz they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games played at home. Jokic always plays well against Gobert, and I expect that to be the case again tonight. Back the home team to win in a close one.

Bojan Bogdanovic to Score 20+ Points (+146)
Bogey has been really consistent against the Nuggets lately. Over the last 3 games against them he is averaging 31.3 points per game and has gone scored 20 or more points in 3 of his last 4. He has been especially lethal from three-point land against them averaging 4.2 makes per game in the last 8 meetings. Overall in his last 10 games he’s averaging 19.7 points per game while shooting 45% from the field. That number would have been even higher if it wasn’t for the 9-point performance against Cleveland the other day. He’s scored 20 or more in 4 of the 6 games played so far this year. There’s no doubt in my mind he will score at least 20 tonight.
Nikola Jokic to Record 10+ Assists (+144)
Teamwork makes the dream work and that’s exactly how the Nuggets can finally beat the Jazz this season. In the 2 meetings so far Jokic has averaged 8.5 assists, but Denver fell short in both of them. He is coming off a 13-assist game against the Lakers last night in just 28 minutes of play. Rudy Gobert returning to the Jazz lineup will clog up the paint, so the Nuggets will be forced to take more shots from deep than normal and Jokic will be the prefect player to set everything up. Teams are averaging 23 assists per game vs the Jazz this season, but that number has jumped to 29.3 per game over their last 3. Fingers crossed Jokic can take advantage of that.
