With respect to 3-pointers, the Jazz's unimpressive 12.4 made threes per game places 10th-fewest in the league over the last 5 games.Over the last 25 games, the opposing team's starting SGs have tallied 5.2 3-point attempts per game (15th-lowest in the NBA) vs. the Denver Nuggets, designating this as a challenging matchup.The Jazz are expected to suffer a reduction in opportunities in this contest from being pitted against the least up-tempo pace-of-play visiting offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Nuggets).The Denver Nuggets have given up the 6th-most offensive boards per game (11.6) in the league to opposing clubs over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).
