Denver at Portland

Portland has had a tough schedule and is playing .500 basketball. The Trail Blazers are 4-10 ATS against the Western Conference and 2-6 ATS following a loss. They couldn't keep rolling after a season high 62-point first half Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers and scored 40 points in the final 24 minutes in a 106-102 loss. So now they face an uptempo Denver team the next night. The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, as well as 4-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Denver is rested and the Blazers are 1-5 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. And when these teams meet, the underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings, plus the road team is 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Play Denver!
