Dec 15 vs Trail Blazers

The Blazers record is slightly better than the Nuggets but not by much, they do however have the better team both depth wise and star player wise. This game will be dominated by C.J. McCollum and Damien Lilliard who will run circles around the Nugget’s young guards and get the win over the young Nuggets.

The Nuggets are 0-2 in the season series and another loss would put them to 0-3 against these division rivals. Both games were decided by a combined nine points, and the first meeting ended in overtime. The Nuggets need to find a way to cool down Lillard, who has already lit them up twice this season.

If the Nuggets can tame Lillard and allow McCollum to not explode, they will be in good shape. This will be a crucial game as it kicks off a Denver three-game home stand.
