Thursday, December 15- Pepsi Center- Portland Trailblazers

This is a game that ever Nuggets fan needs to watch. After coming off yet another six-game road trip, the Denver Nuggets will face the Portland Trailblazers at home.

The Nuggets had a rough time against the Blazers last season as they went just 1-3. There was a light in the tunnel though. Throughout their four games, the Denver Nuggets were able to average 104 points per game which is spectacular.

The Nuggets will be playing them on 2-days of rest; while on two days of rest against the Trailblazers last season, the Nuggets were able to go 1-1. The Nuggets will face a division rival, and they be able to come together to defeat a squad led by superstar Damian Lillard.

Here are highlights from their matchup in April in which Mudiay’s 25 points outdid Lillard’s 21. Sadly, Portland still came out on top in this game.

These two teams, by this time, will already be well acclimated as this will be their third matchup, the first coming Denver’s second game of the season.
