This game seems worth a bet in my opinion. Portland hasnt been playing that bad lately.. and in denvers last 3 they beat orlando by 3, cleveland by 7 and it took a 4th quarter 37-18 blowout to come back and beat the warriors... With denver having to fly out tonight and play okc 2morrow you guys dont think this is a good spot to back portland?

taking the nugs...revenge for earlier this yr and they own the blazers at homeComment -
Take Portland and the points. +9 is a lot to cover for Denver, even if it's at home and Portland just held the Thunder to 87 points which is 18 below their average. I think it's going to be closer than people think. Here are my Tuesday night picks: http://forum.sbrforum.com/nba-basket...fer-picks.htmlOriginally posted by AL1322Comment -
Taking Portland on the road at Denver, who has one of the top home court advantages, is an "iffy" prop even with +9. Denver is 14-2 SU at home and has an average win margin in those 14 games of 11.6 pts.
They covered vs the Warriors on Sunday after coming from behind in the 4th quarter. Safer bet to take Denver or no prop.Comment -
Better off taking the over. These teams are fully capable of making this a shoot outComment -
I should have added that in my first post; OVER looks good since Portland won't be able to go inside the paint on Denver and will have to run and gun to have a chance. In turn, Denver will look to pound it in the paint and have a lot of second chance shots, along with the fouls.Originally posted by emriazComment -
Why won't Portland be able to go inside the paint on Denver. Lamarcus Aldridge is fully capable of driving the paint, as is Lilliard in the right spots.Comment -
This line just looks too shady. 9 points is way too many. Think of it this way. this game in portland would prob be like Portland -1 or a pick em. Why 9 points? I would think line should be like Denver -5. I want to take Portland but lines that seem way to good to be true usually end up being that way for a reason. Staying away from this game, but if have to guess Id say denver wins by double digits for some reason Vegas knows and I dont.Comment -
are there any conspiracies to nationally televised games like this one? Usually the public is always wrong on the national televised games.. Everything looks pretty split down the middle with this one.. You cant ignore the HOME team in this series has been cash money.Comment
