Portland at Denver

Denver has finally found a way to put some more games in the win column with a high-powered offense. That extra gear came in the trade for Chauncey Billups who has become part of the chemistry for a better team. Portland is an up-and-coming team, and off to a good start. But like most young teams, they have not taken the same game on the road where they are just 8-8. The 8-8 record gets worse when they play the better teams as they are just 3-6 on the road against winning teams, including just one pointspread win in five weeks in that situation! What makes matters worse is that this team is struggling period right now with a 1-7 ATS mark in their last eight games. I'll lay the points with the Nuggets here.
