What to Know

The Utah Jazz will take on the Denver Nuggets at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Vivint Arena after having had a few days off. If the game is anything like Utah's 127-120 victory from their previous meeting in May, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

The Jazz beat the Sacramento Kings 110-101 last Friday. Center Rudy Gobert was the offensive standout of the contest for Utah, posting a double-double on 20 rebounds and 17 points.

Meanwhile, the point spread favored Denver on Monday, but luck did not. They took a hard 99-87 fall against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite the defeat, Denver got a solid performance out of center Nikola Jokic, who dropped a double-double on 24 points and 19 boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Jokic has had at least 13 rebounds.

Utah's win lifted them to 2-0 while Denver's loss dropped them down to 2-1. We'll see if Utah can repeat their recent success or if the Nuggets bounce back and reverse their fortune.
