Denver Nuggets - Portland Blazers: betting tip (kef 1.72) and bets on the NBA match

Current form

The Nuggets were reminded in the last match why they are seriously considered as a contender for a serious campaign in the spring. The victory over the Toronto Raptors (121-115) was not just a working victory, it was significant. The team seemed to be swaying during the meeting, went through an unpleasant third segment, but at the crucial moment turned on the very champion gear. The fourth quarter is 36:21. Jamal Murray played the match at the level of the leader — 31 points, confidence, composure. And Nikola Jokic, as the orchestra's conductor, was playing basketball music again, with 22 points and 9 assists. The balance is 43-28 and a place in the top 5 of the West.

The Blazers, in turn, are not going to give up either. The victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves (108:104) is about character and the ability to hold a punch. Portland started the match as if it wanted to solve all the issues by the big break — 68 points in the first half, fast pace, confidence in attack. But then, as is often the case with teams without a stable backbone, the swing began. Losses, recession, the opponent returned and even came out ahead. And here Portlands showed that he has a core. The defense has become tougher, the fight under the shields has become more aggressive (51 rebounds against 43), and penalties are almost without a miss. The denouement turned out to be cinematic: Jerami Grant hits the most important shot 22 seconds before the siren and closes the question of the winner. 26 points, leadership, responsibility — everything is with him. A 35-36 balance leaves Portland with a realistic chance of making the playoffs.
