What moves the Jazz vs Nuggets price
Preseason availability usually comes from the teams and from each coach’s pregame media session, 60 to 90 minutes before tip.
Second-half rotations. Regulars often sit after halftime, so bench, two-way and camp players close the game.
Thin trading. Preseason markets carry less money, so one large order moves the price further.
