The Denver Nuggets are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now, and they come into Utah as winners of seven of their last eight. The streak started with a win on the road over LeBron and the Cavs. The Jazz have lost five straight, and I don't fancy their chances ending that slump tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Utah's Offense - The Jazz are averaging just over 95 points per game, and they haven't gone over 100 points in any of their last seven games.

2. Kenneth Faried - After playing a big role in this year's World Championships with Team USA, it looked as if Faried was ready to have a breakout season. He registered a career high 21 rebounds in a win over Utah the last time these two teams met.

3. X-Factor - The Jazz are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Selection: This is a play on the Denver Nuggets (10*)
