Portland Trailblazers vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Pick Prediction 5/24/2021 by Tony T.
Trailblazers at Nuggets—NBA free pick is Portland Trailblazers +1.5. Portland has won and covered 11 of their past 13 as they pulled away from the Nuggets in their 14 point win at Denver in the opener of this series. Cannon discount the experience of the Trailblazers starting guards in Lillard and McCollum in the playoffs. Nuggets missing key contributors in their lineup to guard the Portland duo as Murray, Dozier and Barton are all out on Monday. Nuggets have failed to cover five of their past seven. Past five games Trailblazers hitting on 50% from the floor and 44.1% from three point range. Nuggets lose Game 1 on their home court and there is little difference in the line in Game 2. Does not seem like early sharp bettors want to bet against Portland. Neither do I. Play Portland +1.5.
