Nuggets V Jazz Playoff Preview

Regular season games

Jan 30, 2020 100 - 106 Nuggets

Feb 5, 2020 95 - 98 Nuggets

Aug 8, 2020 132 - 134 Nuggets

Nuggets have swept the Jazz in the regular season due to their stellar showing in the 2nd half of those games. They have outscoured the Jazz 197 to 159 in the second half in those three games.

They also cannot stop Jokic from scoring and dropping dimes averaging 29 points and 9 assists.

The first two games, the Nuggets were shorthanded but Torrey Craig’s defense on Mitchell was a big part as he has limited the All Star to 11 pts per game on 25% shooting.

I think the Nuggets just have too much firepower for the Jazz to overcome as evidenced by the second half surges. Adding to this surges is the emergence of MPJ and Bol Bol.
