The Denver Nuggets will try to get back on track when they take on the Utah Jazz on Monday. 

Denver has lost two straight, falling to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 117-108 on Sunday afternoon. They've lost three of their last four and are 4-8 in their last 12 games. They're on the road on Monday, traveling to Utah after being at home on Sunday when they hosted Minnesota. They are fifth in West with a 37-24 record. They're one game behind Minnesota, and a half game up on the Los Angeles Lakers. 

The Jazz are searching for any kind of victory as they have lost their last five games. They last played on Saturday, falling to the New Orleans Pelicans, 115-105. This wraps up a three game homestand for the Jazz. They are firmly out of the playoffs, sitting 14th in the West at 18-14, four games ahead of the Sacramento Kings for the worst record in the conference. 

This is the second meeting of the season between the two squads. Denver won 135-112 on December 22. They'll meet twice more, facing off on March 27 and April 1. 

The Nuggets will be without Cameron Johnson, who is OUT with right ankle inflammation. 

Johnson played 23 minutes against the Timberwolves, but went 0-6 from the field and 0-4 from three. He did have 4 rebounds and 3 assists. He hasn't missed a game since February 4.

The Nuggets are still without Aaron Gordon, who is OUT with a right hamstring strain. He was set to be reevaluated in four to six weeks from January 29. He last played on January 23 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
