The match up to watch in the final regular season battle between the Jazz and Nuggets will be Gary Harris vs. Donovan Mitchell.

Both Gary Harris and Donovan Mitchell have had quite the season. Mitchell has solidified himself as one of the go to options for the Jazz and is getting heavy Rookie of the Year consideration. Meanwhile, Harris has actually caused quite a debate in the Mile High as some are saying he has been the best player on the team this season so far.

Both players have their strengths and it will be entertaining to see which one gets the upper hand in this match up. Harris has been a monster on both ends of the floor this year and has been remarkably efficient with his shooting. In the last win, he posted 36 points on 82% shooting!

Mitchell on the other hand, has many NBA fans saying he was the steal of the draft and even saying the Nuggets made a huge mistake trading the young sensation to their division rival.

Both of these players have made great strides this year for their respective teams and it is safe to say neither squad would be where they are without these two great players.

If Harris can even remotely contain Mitchell and keep him from getting his normal averages, it will increase Denver’s chances of winning by ten fold. However, Mitchell is capable of guarding Harris as well and he will also have a tough test. Gary has been on a tear lately and it is easier said than done slowing the young shooting guard down on either end of the court.

One thing is for certain though. This game will showcase two of the most promising talents at the two guard spot between division rivals in the entire NBA.
