The Denver Nuggets are set to face the Portland Trail Blazers for the second time in a row, this time on their home court in Denver. Despite the odd scheduling, the Nuggets are expected to dominate the Blazers, who are likely to miss injured players such as Jerami Grant and Moses Brown. One player to watch is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who impressed with his defense against Anfernee Simons in the previous game. However, Simons still managed to score 29 points and could seek revenge in the upcoming game. Another player to keep an eye on is Scoot Henderson, who had a strong performance off the bench for the Blazers. With the trade deadline approaching, it is possible that veteran player Malcolm Brogdon could be traded to make way for young prospects like Henderson. Betting on Nikola Jokic to achieve a triple-double could be a smart move, as he has a strong history of performing well against DeAndre Ayton and the odds are in his favor at +160.
