ASA play 8* on: Portland Trailblazers -3.5 over Denver Nuggets, 8PM ET

We are going to play against the Nuggets here and bet the more desperate Blazers in this matchup. The Nuggets could move up to the #2 seed in the West and have some incentive to win games in the Bubble but Portland is fighting for the 8th or 9th spot in the West and a change to make the post season. Portland is 0-3 against Denver this season but that was without center Jusuf Nurkic who can match up against the Nuggets Jokic, who has 69 points, 37 rebounds and 17 assists in the three meetings. Portland also catches the Nuggets off a game yesterday and they will be playing their 3rd game in four days. Teams without rest 2-5 SU in the Bubble games and a few of losses have not been close. That is to be expected as players were off for several months and are still finding their way back to game shape. What makes it especially tough for the Nuggets is their lack of three starters/rotation players as Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Will Barton all continue to miss time. We feel the pointspread is a clear indicator on who to bet in this matchup as Portland was an underdog to Houston and Boston in their last two games but are now favored over a hot Denver team? We will bet how Vegas doesn’t want us to bet and lay the points with Portland.
