The Denver Nuggets are one of four teams within two games of second place in the NBA Western Conference. They will head to Portland tonight to take on the Trailblazers. They will likely be without Nikola Jokic, who still has an elbow injury. Gordon, Braun, and Murray are also questionable for this game, but it appears they will play. Deandre Ayton is out for Portland, and Jerami Grant is questionable. Portland has won three straight, so the Nuggets aren't going to lay down in this one; it is a big game for them. Denver is getting points in this contest, but they have beaten Portland in nine of the last 11 meetings. Make the play on Denver.

Denver at Portland
March 23, 2024
10:00 PM Eastern
Not surprisingly Denver has won all three meetings this season and the latest was by 15 points on Feb. 23 as the Nuggets covered as an 8-point favorite on the road. The Nuggets have won seven of their past eight after coming off a 113-100 win over New York on Thursday as Nikola Jokic recorded yet another triple double and Michael Porter Jr. scored 31 points on 13-for-16 shooting. Portland has lost five in a row and was just swept in a two-game series at home against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Trail Blazers are #28 in the NBA scoring only 107.8 points per game and although they covered last night against the Clippers Portland is 0-3-1 ATS its past four following an ATS win. They allowed 57.1 percent shooting by the Clippers on Friday night and now the Trail Blazers are playing a back-to-back. Lay the points with the Nuggets as a Max Play
