Denver showed great resilience after bouncing back from a four-overtime loss and winning on the road in Game 4. Nikola Jokic had 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and Jamal Murray led all scorers with 34 points. The Nuggets shot only 43.5 percent, but hit 11-of-25 from three-point range. Denver has covered the spread in seven of the last nine meetings and they are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 versus Northwest Division teams. The Nuggets are 35-8 at home this season and Portland sharpshooter Damian Lillard is only 24-of-63 over the past three games. The momentum has clearly turned to Denver's favor following Sunday's big win, so go with the Nuggets.
