Portland Trail Blazers (8-18) will host Denver Nuggets (14-10) in a Western Conference action on Thursday night. The skidding Blazers come into this matchup with an embarrassing six-game losing streak, leaving them 13th on the Conference standings. Their last assignment was against the Suns on the road, losing by a slim 7-point margin. Alfernee Simons was the star of the show, bagging 20 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds. They'll now look to put up a much better performance against the in-form Nuggets, who have won their last three matches. The Nuggets are fifth in the standings, 5.5 games behind the leaders OKC Thunder. However, they are only 0.5 games ahead of the Suns, Warriors, Timberwolves, and Clippers. A slip-up at the Moda Center could be costly.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Blazers have lost to the Nuggets in four of the last meetings at the Moda Center. In fact, they only have three wins over the previous 15 meetings with the Nuggets, who have won the last seven meetings. The Nuggets are playing good basketball this season as the dominant Nikola Jokic eyes his fourth MVP title. Their attack is ranked fifth in the league, scoring an average of 119.2 points per contest, with a field goal percentage of 49.4%. Jokic and his counterparts should make quick work of the Blazers' weak defense, which is giving up 116.1 points per game. That's a lowly 22nd in basketball. The Nuggets should stroll to victory. Our prediction for Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets: Denver Nuggets to cover +9.5 spread.
