What to Know

The Portland Trail Blazers head home again on Sunday, but with the point spread against them by 8.5 points, it might not be quite the welcoming they would prefer. They will take on the Denver Nuggets at 9 p.m. ET at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter after having had a few days off. Denver will be strutting in after a win while the Trail Blazers will be stumbling in from a loss.

It’s never fun to lose, and it’s even less fun to lose 132-95, which was the final score in Portland’s tilt against the Golden State Warriors this past Thursday. Rip City was down 100-73 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Shooting guard Anfernee Simons (24 points) was the top scorer for Portland.

Meanwhile, it was all tied up 59-59 at the half for the Nuggets and the Sacramento Kings this past Saturday, but Denver stepped up in the second half for a 115-110 victory. The top scorers for Denver were power forward Aaron Gordon (23 points) and point guard Monte Morris (21 points).

Portland is now 25-35 while Denver sits at 35-25. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Rip City has allowed their opponents to shoot 47.30% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in the league. The Nuggets’ offense has more to brag about, as they they come into the matchup boasting the third highest field goal percentage in the league at 47.40%. So the cards are definitely stacked in their favor.
