Denver Nuggets @ Portland Trailblazers
2* Selection: UNDER 200
There is a lot of value in playing the UNDER in this one. The Trailblazers are a defensive powerhouse as they allowed only 94.1 points per game to the opposition last season, ranking 4th in the NBA. They looked solid defensively against Houston last Tuesday, limiting the Rockets to 87 points. The Nuggets on the other hand are coming off a hard fought win at home last night.
Their five starters combined for over 160 minutes so there is no question that fatigue will be a key factor in this contest. Denver has a high powered offense that averaged 106.6 points last season. However, the Nuggets averaged only 97.1 points per game on 0 days rest. There are also some key trends that heavily favor the UNDER. UNDER is 37-17 in Denver’s last 54 games as a 5-10 point underdog. UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings and 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Portland. Take the UNDER in this one.
