The Nuggets played the Utah Jazz for the fourth time already this season Tuesday night, but in some ways the teams aren’t all that familiar.
Nuggets point guard Emmanuel Mudiay missed his second consecutive game with a sore back, becoming the latest player between the two teams who have missed games in the series so far this season.
Utah forwards Derrick Favors and Alec Burks, a former University of Colorado standout, missed the first three games between the two teams and Jazz guard George Hill had missed two of the three entering Tuesday’s matchup.
