January 15th-17th Situational Angles: Utah Jazz

[B.A.R.]

Jan 3	@ San Antonio Spurs			7:00 PM
Jan 5	@ Brooklyn Nets			7:30 PM
Jan 6	@ New York Knicks			7:30 PM
Jan 8	@ Milwaukee Bucks			8:00 PM
Jan 10	@ Detroit Pistons			12:00 PM
Jan 10	@ Cleveland Cavaliers			3:00 PM
Jan 12	@ Cleveland Cavaliers			7:30 PM
Jan 13	@ Washington Wizards			7:00 PM
Jan 15	Atlanta Hawks			9:00 PM
Jan 17	@ Denver Nuggets			8:00 PM

Here is how this shapes up for the Jazz as they head to Denver to play the Nuggets.

Meanwhile, Denver is sandwiching road trips with this 3 game set and two days rest awaiting the Jazz game.

Jan 14	Golden State Warriors			10:00 PM
Jan 17	Utah Jazz			8:00 PM
Jan 19	Oklahoma City Thunder			9:00 PM

This isn't a super situation, but it is very close. The added element of playing in Denver is intriguing as well.

Hopefully this still sets up in a few weeks!

What would we look to play?

First jazz nuggets game of the season with playoff revenge. This hawks game might be better to look at. Just off road trip with nuggets waiting, jazz might not put full effort.

Absolutely... I thought about changing the thread title.

Jazz blowout Atlanta in this spot.

Sunday @ Denver...

That feels like a solid pregame/live bet/halftime kinda game.

 

[JPicks]

Scheduling spot is a dream. Do worry about that that playoff revenge.

Now, the question is can the Jazz replicate the performance. It shouldn't be expected for Utah to hold every lethal guard to a career-low, but simply stopping them from having career nights should be enough. Mitchell credited Conley for his on-ball defense on Young — can he be that same guy on Jamal Murray?

Sunday, when Denver and Utah rematch for the first time since their historic first-round matchup in August, could provide the answer.

"We're ready to go," Mitchell said. "We've been waiting for this since September 1."

How the Jazz frustrated Trae Young in win over Hawks — and what it may mean going forward

It's no secret to say the Jazz struggle with high-scoring guards. They didn't on Friday in a win over Atlanta.

Gonna have to look live at this point unfortunately, prolly more exciting than the tied NFL game sadly

 

[KJ]

Just got Nuggz -1.5 -115, so tough to get these live lines in hoops before they lock up

 

[B.A.R.]

My first opportunity to bet this game was in the early 4th.. I was close to taking Den but didn't feel right about it.

Helluva win by Utah.

Situational nba isn't what it used to be but long run in spots like these you're gonna come out ahead.

 

[KJ]

Was worth the shot, didn't go nuts. Also felt kinda forced to me

Just considered it the on deck circle for tomorrow!

I don't think it was forced at all.

You couldn't ask for a better situation (in the year 2021 in a league that rarely gives you great spots).

At the point of hitting submit, it felt forced based on how the game was playing out

Not forced in general, only cost baby a pair of shoes but she likes to walk barefoot anyway

 

[B.A.R.]

Gotcha

That's kinda how I felt at that point.

These quotes show how great of a spot it was. Playoff revenge or whatever reason it seems the Jazz fought through it.

Might be a good spot to fade the Jazz against the Pelicans tomorrow night.

In the first meeting between the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets since this past summer’s epic first-round playoff series, you might have expected hyper-competitiveness, back-and-forth scoring pyrotechnics, fiendish aggressiveness.
What you got instead, on Sunday night at Ball Arena, was a miscue-riddled, grimy slog.

Quin Snyder said he “didn’t think we had our legs tonight,” on account of residual fatigue from their recently-completed six-game road trip, “but we played through it.”

“I wish you could pinpoint it. I’ve done it a long time in this league and, you know, you can’t say it’s because we traveled to Denver, or altitude or anything like that — we’re used to playing at altitude. There’s some nights on back-to-backs where you feel worse on the first night than you do the second night,” he said. “Some games, the energy is low and it’s tough to grab it and find it. And this is one of those nights where we just had to grind it out and figure it out along the way.”
