The Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers continue to battle it out in the first round of the NBA playoffs. After four games, the series is in a 2-2 draw, each team was able to win a home and an away game. The Blazers won games one and four, the Nuggets were able to string two successes in between. In game five, which may already be decisive, it goes back to Mile High City in Denver from Tuesday to Wednesday at 3 a.m.
The last game went clearly to the Blazers. Led by a strong Norman Powell (29 points), Portland was not once behind in the course of the game and at times even led by 33 points. In the end, there was a safe 115-95 win for the Blazers. The two main protagonists of the previous series each showed comparatively poor performance. Portland’s point guard Damian Lillard and Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had both scored at least 30 points in every game in the first round so far. On Saturday, however, both remained below 20 points.
The Nuggets are back in their own arena and have one of the best home advantages in the league. The high altitude Denver in mountainous Colorado has caused problems for some top athletes. We believe the Nuggets can hit back at home and rehabilitate themselves for the last defeat.

Nuggets – Trail Blazers: the best odds in comparison
Since we believe that the Nuggets will win, we are also betting on a bounce-back game by Nikola Jokic. Without a strong performance from the center, it will be extremely difficult for Denver to win a game. We trust him to return to his form in the first games and are counting on another strong scoring value from Jokic.

Nuggets – Trail Blazers Betting & Betting Odds:
Expected line-up – last update on June 1, 2021
Nuggets
Campazzo
Rivers
Porter Jr
Jokic
Gordon
Trail Blazers
Lillard
McCollum
Powell
Nurkic
Covington
Both teams should continue to stick to their starting lineups. The Nuggets have to do without star guard Jamal Murray until the end of the season, and Will Barton and PJ Dozier are still missing. Portland only has to complain about the failure of Zach Collins, center Jusuf Nurkic will probably be available after his thumb pulled.
