I see a lot of shops at 4, I couldn't find 3 anywhere, but regardless of what you get, I think it'll be a comfortable win for Portland tonight. Portland has a good crowd, should be 8,000 fans there tonight, which is about half capacity. Denver has proven that they have no answers for Dame Lillard (now they are trying to switch their PF onto him because absolutely no one else on this team can cover him), and Jokic has been hitting every single shot he's taken. If you hold Jokic to like 50% shooting, I don't think this team has any chance. There is just way too much pressure on his shoulders. Most of the guys on Denver's bench are straight bums.

Portland just has too many weapons here and they are in a perfect spot with the series split at 1. I expect them to take both games at home and take a commanding 3-1 lead in this series.
