Game prediction:
Both the teams have been phenomenal. Nuggets went on to attack the Blazers in Game 2. They found a way to make it difficult on Lillard with Gordon guarding him, and that’s going to be an issue for the Blazers going forward and even though this game is in Portland, the nuggets can certainly take a lead 2-1.
