Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Portland is rolling, but Nikola Jokic against Jusuf Nurkic is the matchup that matters. The Blazers have won six of their last ten, including a tight one against the Knicks, and Lillard just dropped 36 points on the Pacers. But Denver, even with a 43-28 record, has been a bit wobbly, going 5-5 in their last ten. Thing is, they always seem to find another gear when Jokic needs to carry them. I've got the Nuggets taking this one, 118-109.
