The Portland Trail Blazers are in control of this Western Conference Semifinals series after first stealing homecourt advantage at Denver and then defending it with a 140-137 quadruple-overtime victory Friday night. They still need to win again home at Moda Center Sunday to completely consolidate their homecourt advantage, and I think the home team has a big advantage in this contest.

Both teams will most likely be drained after Friday's marathon matchup, but the Blazers have had the advantage of being able to rest and recover in their own homes. We can also note that the Trail Blazers are 25-12-1 ATS in their last 38 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Trail Blazers are 22-10 ATS in their last 32 games playing on 1 days rest. Nuggets are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 1 days rest. Look for the home team to run away with this one.

8* play on Portland Trail Blazers.
