Punters will definitely be scratching their heads with the Denver Nuggets next NBA game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Check out our best bet in this Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers match prediction.

Portland is in a somewhat comfortable position. Unless the Blazers lose ten of their last 11 games, with the Pelicans winning all 11, their qualification for the playoffs is guaranteed. But Denver could still slip out of the top 6 if they stumble while the Suns keep surging, making this a must-win game for the Nuggets against a Portland team with less at stake.

Denver is 4-4 in the last eight games, but at least just capped that run with a tough 121-115 win over the Raptors. Thankfully for the Nuggets, they play Portland at home, where they’ve won their last three games against the likes of the Rockers and the 76ers.

However, the Blazers themselves have been surging in the past few games, as they look to punch above their weight and move into a more favourable position. Portland is on a three-game winning streak, and all three wins were on the road. Portland hasn't forgotten its 103-157 blowout at the hands of the Nuggets just last month, and they’ll be looking to get their revenge tonight.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Portland have practically made it to the qualification playoffs, and with eight wins off the automatic zone and just 11 games to play, they don’t have much to fight for. Dever’s case is different. Up to four teams are still in the race to enter the automatic zone, but it’s the Suns that Denver fears the most.

As a result, expect the Nuggets to field their star Jokic for all four quarters as they fight hard for a crucial win that could determine the fate of their playoffs. Hence, our Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers prediction is that Jokic scores 26+ points.

Prediction :

 

Jokic scores 26+ points
