Utah Jazz vs. Denver Nuggets Series/Game Seven Preview
Two words that sports fans love are “Game Seven.” And that is what we are getting when the Utah Jazz take on the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night. This series has had it ALL and now it comes down to one game. These first 6 games have turned Jamal Murray and Donovan Mitchell into must-see stars in the NBA and I can’t wait to see what they do in the finale. Both stars are likely to break the record for made 3s in a single playoff series(32) in this game.
Jazz
Jazz guard, Donovan Mitchell, has proven he is a bonafide star in this league this series. Mitchell is averaging over 38 points a game this series and does not look to be cooling down. With everything on the line in this game, I can see another 40+ point performance from him in Game 7. This series has seen its fair share of 3 point shooting so that should continue tonight. The Jazz hit 18 3 pointers in their game 6 loss so them hitting over 14.5 in this game should not be a problem. And with all the 3 point shots these teams have taken, expect Rudy Gobert to get at least 12 rebounds easily.
Nuggets
Jamal Murray has been UNREAL in this series. He has put Denver on his back and has pushed this series to a game 7 with his amazing performances. He is averaging over 34 points a game and like Mitchell, has had TWO 50 point performances in this series. Both stars are going to go off again in game 7 so don’t be shocked if Murray scores 40-50 points again. Denver matched Utah with 18 3s on their own in game 6 so them hitting the over on 11.5 should be no problem at all.
