Portland at Denver

The Denver Nuggets lead the NBA in scoring offense, while the Portland Trailblazers love the halfcourt game. It will be a battle of wills while one team tries to leak out for quick scores and the other burns the shot clock. Portand has been successful at imposing their will, even on the road. They have gone 19-7 to the UNDER in their last 26 with a posted total of 200 or more. Portland has also had success keeping the Nugget offense in check as seven of the last ten in this series have failed to reach the total. The Nuggets are not as sharp off an extended road trip as they are 5-2 to the UNDER after a seven game road trip or more. I like the UNDER in this one.
