Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets Player Prop Picks 11-27-24
On November 27, 2024, the Denver Nuggets will take on the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. The Nuggets, led by MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. Jokic is contributing 29.7 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 10.9 assists. The Jazz, struggling this season, rely on Lauri Markkanen and have faced defensive challenges, allowing 118.5 points per game. Denver’s strong offensive depth and defensive capability should give them an advantage, but the Jazz will look to build on their recent win over the Knicks.
Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists
Nikola Jokić has been displaying exceptional playmaking skills during the 2024-2025 NBA season, averaging 10.9 assists per game over 13 games. He continues to lead the Denver Nuggets as both their primary scorer and assist distributor, with a high assist-to-turnover ratio, demonstrating his efficiency as a center facilitating the offense. His assists contribute significantly to Denver’s dynamic offense, reflecting his status as one of the league’s most versatile and skilled big men.
We’ve seen Nikola Jokic get 10 or fewer assists in every game since returning back to action after missing 3 games. Before that we saw him get 10+ assists a game with ease. This is a perfect spot to buy back in on Jokic facilitating the ball. The Jazz have given up a ton of assists this season. They give up an average of 27.9 to opposing teams which is the 4th most in the league. This is the game where Jokic returns back to his old ways and starts getting triple-doubles like it’s nothing again.
Colin Sexton Over 16.5 Points
Collin Sexton has been performing well in the 2024-25 NBA season, averaging 16.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game for the Utah Jazz. His shooting has been solid, with a field goal percentage of 47.0% and a three-point shooting rate of 34.5%. Sexton has also been consistent from the free-throw line, hitting 88.2% of his attempts.
He has had several strong individual performances, including a 25-point game against the New York Knicks in his last game, where he shot 64.3% from the field and 75% from three. Colin Sexton has put together a good stretch of games and I’m looking to ride the hot hand. We saw a Knicks team put up over 140 points against this Nuggets team, this Jazz team will be able to score as well.
Michael Porter Jr. Over 17.5 Points
Michael Porter Jr. is having a solid 2024-25 season for the Denver Nuggets, averaging 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. His scoring is supported by his efficient shooting: 49.2% from the field and 40.7% from three-point range. Porter has shown his scoring versatility, contributing in both inside play and long-range shooting. His rebounding and assist numbers also demonstrate his broader impact on the game.
With the Nuggets losing KCP to the Magic this season they’ve needed Michael Porter Jr. to step up in a big way and he has. He’s currently this Nuggets team’s 2nd leading scorer. This Jazz defense is still susceptible to giving shots from beyond the arc so this matchup is perfect for Michael Porter Jr. to have a big game.
