The Denver Nuggets Take on The Portland Blazers in a Crucial Matchup
The Denver Nuggets Take on The Portland Blazers in a Crucial MatchupThe Denver Nuggets have made big news in the recent weeks for changing their lineup and trading away some key players, but they are still in the race for a playoff berth. One of the teams standing in their way is the Portland Blazers.


BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule.

The Nuggets who are a half-game ahead of Portland in the Northwest Division race, will now have a slew of new players that they will need to juggle in the lineup. They have several questions that have to be answered to include the point guard position. The Nuggets acquired Raymond Felton from the Knicks but already have a capable starter in Ty Lawson.

People forget the Nuggets were not successful in the playoffs with Carmelo Anthony. Keep in mind the Nuggets went just 2-7 in playoff series in Carmelo Anthony's seven seasons in Denver. Both series wins came in 2009, when the Nuggets made the Western Conference final. That's also the only season since 1994 in which they've won even one postseason series.

Nevertheless, with Denver being in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference playoff race as the blockbuster deal was done to ship Anthony and veteran leader Chauncey Billups to New York, the Nuggets coach is thinking playoffs.

The Blazers need to win while they are in the midst of a four-game homestand. This one is tougher than usual, though, beginning with anovertime loss to the Lakers and continuing Friday against Denver. After that comes Atlanta and Houston. That makes the game against the Nuggets a very important game.

The Nuggets are 8-17-3 ATS in their last 28 games as a road underdog and 7-20 ATS in their last 27 Friday games.

The Blazers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and beat up on the Nuggets.
