Bet on Nuggets vs. Trail Blazers
These two squads love to run up the point total when playing against each other. We’re not going to bank on it stopping tonight. Denver has a fantastic offense when everything is clicking, but is not known as a strong defensive team. Portland can take advantage of soft defense and secure over bettors their win.
