This is a 10* play OVER Portland-Denver

There were 234 total points scored in Game 1 and both teams shot better than 50% from the field. Maybe both offenses won't be that prolific again, but there's still plenty of room here for this game to go Over the total. Denver won Monday, 121-113 as a 4-point favorite, and we had them. The homecourt edge is very real for this team as they are a league best 38-8 straight up in home games. They average 113.3 points/game at the Pepsi Center and while we've pointed out in the past that they are also a better defensive team at home, that's counteracted by the fact Portland is a worse defensive team on the road. Every time these teams have met this season (5x), the game has gone Over. Every game has seen at least 223 total points score with Game 1 being the highest scoring of the quintet. The Over is 9-3 off Portland's last 12 straight up losses. Play OVER Portland-Denver
