I don't trust Denver at all. I've been mulling this all day. I'm going to take a chance on this despite my insecurities: Denver Nuggets -2 (spending that juice)
I agree with you completely. Denver is one of the worst teams in the league this year and probably the worst team in the WC, right there with the Lakers. Nicolas Batum is out tonight and at this point in the season, Portland is only using an 8 man rotation. I've never actually played 4 games in 5 days in the NBA but that sounds pretty difficult to me.
Portland is definitely talented enough to cover and win but I will take those odds. This is one of those games where I wouldn't be mad if I lost.
