NBA Wednesday same game parlay (+1020 odds): Utah Jazz vs Denver Nuggets

On one of the busiest nights in the NBA since the New Year started, we have 22 teams in action and an ESPN doubleheader coming our way. The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks start us off at 7:30pm ET, followed by the Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets at 10pm ET.

I’ve prepared a same-game parlay for the Jazz vs Nuggets game, which you can find below. Be sure to also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 11-game slate.

Let’s get into it!

Denver Nuggets 1-10 win margin (+270)

Nikola Jokic to score 35+ points (+330)

Parlay odds: +1020

Denver Nuggets 1-10 win margin (+270)

I think we are in for a close game tonight. Denver just lost to Dallas which ended a 3-game win streak and tonight’s matchup with the Jazz is a perfect bounce-back opportunity against a worthy opponent. They’ve been on a solid run against the Jazz lately, covering in 11 of the last 14 battles between the two at Ball Arena. The last time they faced off in Denver it finished in a 128-117 win for the home team. Utah has several players who are questionable for tonight. Rudy Gobert has a shoulder issue, Jordan Clarkson and Donovan Mitchell have back problems, while Bojan Bogdanovic has an injured finger. If you take all of that into account, I really believe the Nuggets have a chance to win here — but it’ll be close.

Nikola Jokic to score 35+ points (+330)

Jokic is having a very efficient season at home, averaging 57.8% shooting from the field and 41% from downtown which is really impressive for a player of his size. The Nuggets will need him to come up big if they want to get the win here. He has absolutely abused Rudy Gobert in the last couple of years. In his last 7 against Utah, he is averaging 35 points per game and last year in January he had a game of 47 points and 12 boards. Gobert will most likely be the only player he goes up against tonight as his reserve Hassan Whiteside is questionable with a concussion. Heavy minutes mean more fatigue for the Frenchman, and I think Jokic is smart enough to know how to capitalize on this.
