Command Analysis
Utah Jazz

This season, the Jazz have not pleased their fans. The team occupies the penultimate place in the Western Conference standings. However, in the last match, Will Hardy team managed to win, beating New York (121:106) on their home court. Lauri Markkanen scored an impressive 34 points. The Finnish forward continues to show a high level, but his efforts are often not enough for overall success.

Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets look much more stable, alternating wins and losses. However, in the last match, the team suffered a major defeat to New York (118:145). Nikola Jokic was traditionally the best on the court, but his efforts were insufficient. Despite the misfire, Denver still occupies a place in the upper part of the standings.
The team is focused on getting back on track, but the upcoming away game promises to be tough. Against a motivated Utah, the visitors will have to give it their all to avoid a second consecutive loss.
