The Portland Trail Blazers stole homecourt advantage by winning Game 1 of this series at Mile High. The desperate Nuggets were the better team in Game 2, but I expect a strong effort from the Blazers here in their first home game of the playoffs.

Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Trail Blazers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Trail Blazers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

10* play on Portland Trail Blazers.
