These teams have played twice this season with both games going Over, and that's a bit of a surprise as Denver has been the second-best Under team in the NBA this season. Still, even though both games went over, I like the Under in this matchup. The Under is 5-0 in Denver's last five at home, 13-3 in its last 16 against the West, and 21-6 in its last 27 overall. The Under is also 17-12 when Portland's a dog, including 14-9 as a road dog.
The Nuggets rebounded from a tough loss on the road versus the Warriors to blow the Spurs out by 28 points at home on Wednesday. With their 24-15 home record ATS, they are an appealing target for this matchup. The Blazers are still playing well despite the losses of C.J. McCollum (knee) and Jusuf Nurkic (leg), but they are only 9-14 ATS as a road underdog. Look for the Nuggets to keep things rolling and cover.
