Trailblazers vs Nuggets NBA Live: Portland Trailblazers will enter the contest after losing a close game to the Suns despite a 41 points outburst by Damian Lillard. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets will come into the game after beating the Pistons rallying around a 20 points triple-double by Nikola Jokic. More information regarding POR vs DEN Dream11 will be given here.

Trailblazers’ season: Portland has played some praiseworthy basketball since last week or so and has a huge chance to enter the NBA Playoffs leg without having to participate in the NBA Play-in tournament. The team has received immense contributions from Lillard and McCollum, but Nurkic’s return to form has been the main reason for the dramatic turnaround. With a bench containing Melo and Kanter, the Trailblazers are deep and Norman Powell provides them with a lot of oomph at the SF spot in the starting lineup.

Nuggets’ season: Denver has had an incredible season and apart from the perennial all-star Jokic, they have received elite-level contributions from Michael Porter Jr. The injury to Jamal Murray may have set them back a bit but they are still a tough team to beat with the 1-2 punch of Porter and Jokic, who are surrounded by terrific defensive talents and will be tough for any team to face during the NBA Playoffs.
