The Portland Trail Blazers and the Denver Nuggets will meet at the Moda Center in the NBA on Friday night. The Blazers (27-29) are 10th in the Western Conference standings, while the Nuggets (35-21) are fourth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Portland Trail Blazers are enjoying a nice run of form and notched up their fourth win in their last five games ahead of the All-Star break, beating the Utah Jazz 135-119.
The Blazers had a poor first half against Utah and were down by two points at halftime, but they produced an excellent defensive display in Q3, which ultimately sealed the victory. Jrue Holiday finished with 31 points and seven assists.
Portland are 16-13 at home and seven wins ahead of the 11th-placed Grizzlies. They also beat this opponent 109-107 when they met back in November. Shaedon Sharpe and Damian Lillard are ruled out.
Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets were not at their best leading up to the All-Star weekend and returned from the break with a painful 115-114 loss to the Clippers last night.
Nikola Jokic led the team with 22 points and 17 rebounds, while Jamal Murray finished with 20 points, but he missed a free throw to force overtime with a second remaining.
Denver are two wins above the Lakers in fifth, but have also played two games more. They are 20-10 on the road and will be without Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson.
