Randy’s Pick
The Denver Nuggets haven't played much defense in their first couple games, and they're going up against a buzz saw that's been the Utah Jazz. Of course the sample sizes are small, but you can count on one hand teams that have been more impressive than the Jazz, especially offensively. The line is what it is for a reason, folks. I'll lay the chalk with the Jazz.
