The Nuggets (50-28, 25-13 Home) will host the Portland Trail Blazers tonight at Ball Arena in Denver, CO. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. EST, and fans can find coverage via NBA League Pass.
Both teams are headed to the postseason, Denver as possibly the No. 3, 4 or 5 seed and Portland via the play-in tournament. With a win and a little help, both have a chance to move up with their next win. So, it is safe to say that they both have something to play for.
Denver last played on Saturday when they hosted Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. The Nuggets needed an overtime period, but they managed to secure the win, 136-134. Nikola Jokic was two rebounds short of a triple-double with 40 points, 13 assists, and eight rebounds. It was another solid effort on the offensive end, but it was also the fourth time in six games that they allowed 122+ points.
As for Portland, the Trail Blazers are also coming off a win but have not played since last Thursday, when they beat the New Orleans Pelicans at home, 118-106. It was their third win in a row and eighth in their last ten games.

Our Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
My first thought is to take the Nuggets to cover; Denver is the better, more talented team, and it's playing at home. However, while the Nuggets are a tremendous offensive team, they have not been as good on defense. They’ve been scoring 127 points a game over their last ten while allowing 117. That would fall just short of the OVER, but the Trail Blazers have been playing well on offense and could certainly make up the difference.
