10* TOP TUESDAY TOTAL - 25-15 NBA YTD!
(NBA) Denver vs. Portland,
Total: 212.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOP TUESDAY TOTAL on the UNDER Nuggets/Blazers.

Here's the perfect spot to play the UNDER.

I think this line is inflated due to perception. Both divisional foes are 9-8. I'm expecting a slower-paced defensive contest for sure.

Denver has seen the total go OVER in two straight, most recently a 126-97 loss at Phoenix. The Nuggets won't be lacking for motivation here either after four straight losses.

Portland plays with revenge here after falling 124-95 to Denver back on November 14th. Note that the Blazers have seen the total go UNDER the number in seven of their last ten in trying to revenge a SU/ATS road loss against an opponent in which they were held to 99 or fewer points in.

I think the overall situation, combined with the above listed O/U trends make the UNDER the correct call in this one.

Good luck, NP
