Portland Trail Blazers @ Denver Nuggets Preview

The Denver Nuggets enter this matchup on a six-game winning streak, sitting third in the Western Conference with a 34-19 record. They are looking to extend their streak to seven games, which would be their longest of the season. Nikola Jokic has been the driving force behind Denver's success, averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.3 assists per game. However, the Nuggets are dealing with injuries, including Russell Westbrook (hamstring) and Michael Porter Jr. (hamstring tightness), whose status is uncertain for this game.

On the other hand, the Portland Trail Blazers have turned their season around, winning 10 of their last 12 games. Despite their recent form, they remain 13th in the Western Conference with a 23-30 record. Anfernee Simons leads the team with 18.5 points per game, supported by a balanced scoring lineup. However, injuries to Robert Williams III and other key players could impact their performance.

Pick: Denver Nuggets -9.5

The Denver Nuggets are in excellent form, with a six-game winning streak and a strong home record. Nikola Jokic's dominance, combined with the team's overall consistency, makes them the clear favorites. While the Trail Blazers have been impressive recently, their injury concerns and struggles on the road make it difficult to back them against a red-hot Denver team. The Nuggets should cover the -9.5 spread.

Nikola Jokic Over 29.5 Points

Anfernee Simons Over 18.5 Points

Simons leads the Trail Blazers in scoring and has been a consistent offensive threat. With Denver focusing on limiting Portland's other options, Simons should have opportunities to exceed his scoring average.
