Nuggets vs Blazers Quarter 1
Nuggets dominating the Blazers so far on the offensive glass. Portland settling in, but they’ll need to get that squared away.

Wonderful patience by Facu to keep his dribble alive and find a cutting Gordon for the easy dunk.
There is Nurkic hurting Denver’s aggressive defensive scheme by slipping and forcing the rotation. That is going to be a byproduct of hedging all series.

NBA Playoffs Live Stream: Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers Match Preview
Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets will begin the playoffs with a depleted backcourt. Jamal Murray (ACL tear) is done for the season, while Will Barton (hamstring strain) and P.J.
Dozier (adductor soreness) is expected to miss at least the first game of their first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers.
But, behind the Kia MVP campaign of Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets haven’t really broken stride. And for the third straight year, they have a top-3 seed in the Western Conference.
Portland Trail Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers have had an up-and-down-and-up-again season. They have big advantages in the backcourt and size to deal with Jokic. But the emergence of Michael Porter Jr. could make a difference for Denver.
The Trail Blazers hold an even 19-19 record against the spread this season when they play as at least a 2-point underdog.
Portland and its opponents have regularly hit the over this season, doing so in 50% (36) of its 72 games played.
