Well, there is plenty of interest in this game already and the early action is a little more on Denver than Portland and the line has steamed up to Denver -5.. This is an interesting game that I am leaning Portland at the moment on. The last time these two teams played one another was 03/07/2010 and Portland was a 7 point pup on the road to Denver. I lost that nite taking Portland.as Portland lost by 12 points and actually looked sluggish that game. Portland went into that game on 4 days rest and i thought it would be an advantage for them but it turned out it wasn't. If anybody watched the game remembers that they lost by 12 pts but the game was actually much closer than the final score indicated. Portland made some runs in that game and got within single digits late, but Denver pulled away with some late 3's by Afflalo and Smith.
I think the line that bookmakers set is real telling considering that Portland has lost to Denver@ Denver by totals of 8,16,12 respectively there last 3 meeting at the Pepsi Center and the line is only set at Denver -4-4.5 with Portland playing back to back on the road now
That tells me something about Denver especially the way they have been playing with the absence of K.Martin and head coach George Karl and add to it that Portland is the best team in the NBA playing 0 days rest.
Me, personally I reccomend waiting on this game if you are leaning Portland. I think the line is solid at Denver -5 and will hold until game time. Watch to see what the late money does on this game. If the the Big shops lean Portland late I know I will be jumping on.
