Saturday's NBA slate includes just five games, starting with Clippers vs. Blazers at 1 p.m. ET. Unfortunately, a game that initially seemed extremely interesting lost a bit of its luster after news broke that Kawhi Leonard will be sitting out for a scheduled day of rest.
The next game on today's docket — Jazz vs. Nuggets (3:30 p.m. ET, TNT) — isn't driving anywhere close to the overall betting action as Clips vs. Blazers; however, sharps are not only interested, they're hitting both the spread and over/under.
Using The Action Network's betting tools, let's examine how the pros are playing Jazz vs. Nuggets.

Sports Insights' Bet Signals, which track and report smart money moving the market in real-time, have identified two separate instances of pros getting down at Denver -1, which is the reason this number has climbed back to the opener.
