Nuggets Spotlight

The Denver Nuggets just dropped their fourth-straight game, this time to the Phoenix Suns, failing to keep it within the 11-point spread. On the road, the Nugget’s offense ranks 23rd in points per game, 6th in field goal percentage, and 28th in 3-point shooting. Defensively on the road the Nuggets have been sub-par, ranking 18th in points allowed, 23rd in field goal percentage, 23rd in 3-point shooting, and 15th in rebounding. They could be without their super-star Nikola Jokic for a third straight game.

Trailblazers Spotlight

The Portland Trailblazers have found themselves in a nice groove, winning three-straight games at home, while going 2-1 ATS in the process. At home the Trailblazers have played some terrific offense, ranking 3rd in points per game, 10th in field goal percentage, and 1st in 3-point shooting. Defensively at home, the Trailblazers rank 15th in points allowed, 16th in field goal percentage, 27th in 3-point shooting , and 3rd in rebounding.

Final Say

Denver has been dominating this series winning 7 of their last 10 meetings with Portland, while winning three straight against them, winning by an average of 16 points during that span. That history shouldn’t prevail here though as the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games and 1-5 ATS in their last six games on the road. The Trailblazers have been on fire at home, winning eight straight there, while going 6-3 ATS in their last nine at home. If the Nuggets are without Jokic again, the Trailblazers should blaze on by them in this one.

Pick: Portland Trailblazers -6
