Denver @ Portland

Portland is a very tough place to play.

That actually has been the case for many years. Portland has a great chance of winning the division this year and could run rough shod over Denver in this particular game. However, I think Denver will start to slowly solve Portland’s puzzle keeping the game close.

It won’t be enough in the end, but it will be a great confidence builder for the young Denver team. It is no shame to lose to this team. Damian Lillard and company should easily make their way back to the playoffs.

The Trail Blazers will take this one by a final score of 117-110.
