Game Prediction, Analysis and Breakdown
PORTLAND BLAZERS VS. DENVER NUGGETS
Tommy d here for your Thursday card. And I got more free winners for all my daily viewers. If you didn’t watch yesterday, you missed out On money!
We hit both the Lakers money line and the over and parlayed them both! In the Mavericks and clippers game, we hit our main play of clippers team total over, but lost our parlay, clippers money line and the over. Great day overall and were gonna cash again baby!!
We have the third game in the nuggets vs Trail Blazers nba play off series and the official Denver vs Portland odds have the blazers favored by 3 points. The total is at 228 and has come down a bit from its opening line of 230. This is surprising because both games in Denver got off to quick starts with flurries of points and still went over despite slower second halves.
After winning game 1, the nuggets came to play in game 2 and the blazers were kind of on cruise control. They didn’t play with the same intensity they gave in their win. They seemed satisfied stealing one road game and coming back home to rip city with the series tied.
I worry that they will start extremely slow and shoot poorly continuing their anemic effort of last game.
The blazers vs nuggets injury report doesn’t have any new Additions. Jamal Murray is obviously a cheerleader at this point..the nuggets’ will Barton missed the first 2 but has not been declared out of this one yet. He’s still listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.
Murray’s injury doesn’t seem to be an issue. campazzo really stepped up last game and was a thorn in the side of cj mccollum. We should expect the same aggressive defense. There’s certain players that get under people’s skin and he’s one of those guys. We might see some technical and flagrant fouls in this one!
The blazers are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs and 7-2 overall. But against the nuggets. They are only 3-6 in their last 9.
Portland was only 20-16 at home and only 15-21 against the spread…this doesn’t seem like a big home court advantage. The nuggets were 22-14 on the road.
The nuggets own the advantage in every statistical category on both offense but especially defense where the nuggets rank top 5 and the blazers rank 25th. Even on offense though, they shoot similar three point percentage. There is a big difference in field goal percentage though, where the nugs rank 4th and the blazers are 23rd!
Game Prediction and Picks
My nuggets vs blazers prediction is Denver will come out firing and lead early. But in the end, I’m expecting this to be a close one and the nuggets to return the favor on the road and go up in the series.
My official nuggets vs blazers pick is nuggets +3!
If I was going to parlay 2 plays, I would bet nuggets spread with the under. Not super confident on the total but it’s shady it’s not higher with both games of the series easily going over so far.
As always, Thanks for watching. I’m Tommy d and we’ll see you again tomorrow for the Clippers and Mavericks game 3 breakdown!
