Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers have been in great form as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after outlasting the Timberwolves in a 108-104 road win on Friday. Jerami Grant led the team with 26 points and 10 of 16 shooting, Deni Avdija added 25 points with eight rebounds and five assists while Donovan Clingan tallied 21 points with 12 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 42 percent from the field and nine of 37 from the 3-point line as they got off to a flyer with 68 points in the first half to take an 18-point lead, but they allowed the Timberwolves all the way back into the contest and needed some heroics from Grant who scored the final eight point to carry the Trail Blazers over the line.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won four of their last six games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after sneaking past the Raptors in a 121-115 home win on Friday. Jamal Murray led the way with 31 points and six assists on 10 of 18 shooting, Tim Hardaway Jr provided the spark off the bench with 23 points on eight of 16 shooting while Nikola Jokic tallied 22 points with eight rebounds and nine assists. As a team, the Nuggets shot 54 percent from the field and 14 of 30 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble when they leaked 41 points in the third quarter to fall behind by 11 points but they responded with a 9-0 run and did just enough in the fourth quarter to hold the lead to the very end.
Portland v Denver Free Prediction
The Trail Blazers are still missing Shaedon Sharpe and Vit Krejci with Jerami Grant listed as questionable, while the Nuggets are keeping an eye on Peyton Watson who is questionable for this one. The last time these two teams met it was the Nuggets who won by an incredible 157-103 back on Feb 20. The Trail Blazers will be out for revenge and they are entering this contest with plenty of momentum so while I expect the Nuggets to get the win at home, something tells me the Trail Blazers are going be able to hang around and make things interesting at the end.
