The Trail Blazers have shown some struggles on offense, but their defense has been solid. The Nuggets maintain a well-balanced attack both inside and outside. In this matchup, the Blazers will likely focus on defensive adjustments to contain the Nuggets and create a chance to win. They don’t want to lose to the same opponent again, so they’ll put extra effort into defense. As a result, I expect a lower-scoring game.

Pick: Total points under 232.5 (bet365)
