Portland Trail Blazers

(18-12)

7th West

5th West

Fanduel Line

Portland is given 6 points tonight against a banged up Nuggets team in Denver. The Blazers come off a blowout loss last night to the Suns who are a fantastic team this year, and had to travel over night for this game, and Denver comes off a loss to a decent Hawks team. Given the injuries to Denver and the toughness of the Blazers, I will take those 6 points and say it will be closer than that. I think Lillard will be able to draw the defense in and kick out to his shooters tonight. Take the Trail Blazers +6 and Derrick Jones Jr over 8.5 points.

Side note : there is no line for Carmelo Anthony’s points on fan duel, but if you can find that on another book take that as well if it is 15 or less.
