The Denver Nuggets are looking to make it five wins in a row when they host the Utah Jazz on Friday night.

Jazz vs. Nuggets Best NBA Prop Bets

Nuggets Best NBA Prop Bet

Cameron Johnson OVER 13.5 Points + Assists (-128)

Cameron Johnson is finding his place in the Nuggets lineup. In his first season in Denver, he’s averaging 11.9 points after putting up 18.8 points in a bigger role in Brooklyn. However, he’s been trending upward in the second half for the Nuggets.

Johnson has gone OVER 13.5 points + assists in three straight games and nine of his last 10 contests. He’s averaging 15.4 points and 2.4 assists per game in that span.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Johnson gets to this number with his points alone, but having the insurance of a few assists is always nice.

Jazz vs. Nuggets Prediction and Pick

Utah has lost by double digits during its three-game losing streak, including a 23-point loss as a -3.5 favorite against the Wizards on Wednesday night. Prior to that, the Jazz lost by 16 to the Raptors and 10 to the 76ers.

The Jazz put up a good fight against Denver a few weeks ago, but that was in Utah. The Nuggets are better at home, and the Jazz are much worse on the road.

I’ll take the Nuggets to win this one in a blowout as Nikola Jokic makes a late run for MVP.

Pick: Nuggets -18.5 (-110)
