Prediction for the NBA match between Portland vs Denver, which will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Portland

The only thing the Trail Blazers have going for them in the championship final is draft picks. The team can still fall to last place in the Western Conference and get the best odds in the draft lottery. Portland is currently 5.0 wins ahead of the worst team in the West, San Antonio. Portland enters the matchup with Denver on a six-game losing streak, with four losses coming at home.

Denver

Portland has yet to play after a break in the championship, while Denver has already had one game. Yesterday, the Nuggets at home confidently coped with the outsider of the East, Washington 130:110. Nikola Jokic recorded another triple-double - 21 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists. Michael Porter had a double-double - 22 points and 11 rebounds; Jamal Murray scored 18 points and eight assists. The win snapped Denver's three-game losing streak and moved the Nuggets into the top four of the Western Conference with a 37-19 record.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the back-to-back losses, Denver will surely win the upcoming game - Portland is too weak an opponent for today. Chauncey Billups' team hasn't solved their offensive problems yet, averaging only more points per game than Memphis, so except for the Nuggets' win, we'll take the total under here. At the same time, Portland's perimeter defense is almost identical to Denver's, one of the season's best teams in this component. So let's go with TU on three-pointers.
