In an NBA Cup game, the Blazers face the Nuggets at the Moda Center, with Denver favored by 4.5 points.
The Trail Blazers won their last two games, had a splendid night, and took advantage of the Lakers' injuries to beat them 122-108 at Crypto Arena. Jrue Holiday tallied 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists in that game. Holiday, acquired from the Celtics in the offseason, had his second standout game with the Blazers in the thrilling 136-134 victory against the Utah Jazz, scoring 27 points. Despite an 11-point lead, the Blazers only managed to win by two points. It was a great team effort from the Blazers; Deni Avdija praised his team, saying everyone was giving 100%.
But the Blazers will have to contend with a player as influential as Nikola Jokic on Friday, who has the Nuggets at 3-1 and has practically made triple-doubles a habit. Against the Pelicans, Jokic recorded another triple-double with 21 points in the 122-88 blowout win over New Orleans at the Ball Arena.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Jamal Murray scored 17 points and dished out 5 assists in the Nuggets' last game. He himself highlighted how well they play as a team, especially in their decision-making regarding shooting or passing, but recent reports say that Bruce Brown could replace Murray on Friday due to calf tightness.
Of course, everyone's attention is focused on Jokic, who has been unstoppable since last season. The Serbian is averaging a triple-double this season with 20.3 points, 14.5 rebounds, and 11.3 assists. He didn't even have to play the fourth quarter against the Pelicans to complete his latest triple-double, which puts him third on the all-time list in that category.
Our prediction for Nuggets vs Trail Blazers is: Nuggets -4.5.
