The first round of the NBA Cup group stage tips off with the Portland Trail Blazers hosting the Denver Nuggets on Friday. This is a West Group C match, while these games also count towards the team’s regular season records. Check out our prediction below!
The Trail Blazers have been very impressive to start the 2025-26 season and sit fifth in the West standings at 3-2. After starting the campaign with two losses from the first three games, they’ve since bounced back with two consecutive wins.
Most recently, they beat the Utah Jazz 136-134 in a shootout with Jrue Holiday leading the way with 27 points. That result raised them up to seventh in the overall scoring ranks at 123.6 points per game.
They’ll have their hands full with a Denver Nuggets team that is looking unstoppable on the offensive side of the ball.
The Nuggets started the season with a loss to the Warriors but have since recovered by winning their last three in a row. Last time out, Denver blew out the Pelicans 122-88 on the road.
Nikola Jokic continues to set records by becoming the first player in NBA history to start a season with four straight triple-doubles. The Serbian star averaged a triple-double for the entire campaign last season, somehow not winning the MVP.
