POR vs DEN Dream11 Prediction NBA Projections, Daily Fantasy Basketball Team, Top Picks and Tips for Portland Trail Blazers vs Denver Nuggets

POR vs DEN Dream11: In this classic Western Conference showdown, the Portland Trailblazers will battle it out against the Denver Nuggets. Trailblazers come into this game on a three-game winning streak while the Nuggets have lost their four games in a row. Both teams are a game above the 50% win mark.

Portland has some defensive issues but has put together a decent campaign since the last 5-6 days and is looking much better. Damian Lillard may have figured it out after a slow start and came up with a 39 points night versus the Sixers. Can Trailblazers extend their streak against struggling Nuggets?

The Nuggets have lost the zip because of a depleted team. The team is missing Michael Porter and Jamal Murray while Nikola Jokic has also missed the last few games. Will Barton and Aaron Gordon have been asked to do a lot of lifting on offense and it is clear Denver is shaken up after missing three of its key players. Will Jok return in this game?

Host: Portland Trail Blazers

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Portland: Are they figuring it out?
Trailblazers have done well recently largely due to two-three reasons. Damian is back in form, shooting more efficiently, Larry Nance has provided some inspiring play off the bench and the bench has done much better. The defense is a LITTLE improved but still remains vulnerable. It is the defensive end that holds the Trailblazers back because on offense they have Lillard-McCollum-Powell from guard to wing spot, and all of them can score in bunches. Jusuf Nurkic’s offense has taken a hit and he will need to figure it out soon.

Nuggets: Thin right now
How can you expect a team that is missing its three main players to grab wins? While Barton and Gordon are superb defensive players and Will can score some points in ISO situations, they can’t be asked to do much alone. Jeff Green showed a better offensive game in the last game but Denver guards Morris, Rivers, Campazzo have been a tad inconsistent. This team needs more from the bench right now.
