Portland vs. Denver

Denver has won all three meetings against Portland this season, and they have won nine of the last 10 meetings with the Trail Blazers. The Nuggets won their second in a row, 132-126, over San Antonio on Wednesday when Michael Porter, Jr. had 30 points and 15 rebounds and Nikola Jokic added 25 points and 11 assists. Jerami Grant also went for 22 points for the Nuggets. Portland is in a more desperate situation, which explains it being the favorite in this game, but they are only 4-12-1 ATS the last 17 meetings, and Denver has covered four of its last five playing on no rest.  The Nuggets have shot better than 50 percent from the field in their last two games. Take the Nuggets.
