Two more potential playoff teams of the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers, are set to battle for the second TNT Thursday night doubleheader at 10:30 PM EST. These two teams are fighting it out along with Utah for the Northwest Division. Like the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers are in a back-to-back situation after hosting Indiana on Wednesday night and are just 5-6 ATS in these situations despite have young legs. As the home team, the Denver Nuggets are the favorite with -7 wagering odds with a 199 1/2 over/under.

Portland has also struggled on the road this year at 12-18 ATS and a lot of those failures have been against the elite teams in the conference.

Denver dropped their last two games, both on the road at Indiana and Detroit. The Pistons game was played without Carmelo Anthony who was serving a one-game suspension. The Detroit loss helped spoil a great 34-point effort from Chauncey Billups against his old team.

Anthony’s return on Thursday, coupled with big man Nene returning to the lineup last week, means the Nuggets starting lineup and bench should be strong. Denver is 16-12-1 ATS at home this year and they usually get up for the big games.

Note this is the third meeting between the teams this year with the home team winning and covering the spread each time. However, those games back in December were without Anthony who missed them both due to injury.

Despite probably both not making the playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets are not playing well of late and are set to face off tonight Wednesday, February 25th at 9:05 PM EST. The Nuggets have lost three straight and the Hawks have lost their last two and three of their last five. The Nuggets are coming off a humiliating loss at home on Monday, losing 115-76 to Boston. It was the worst home loss for the Nuggets in more than 11 years. The NBA wagering odds see the public taking the Nuggets -8.5 at home with a 203.5 wagering total.

Denver has averaged 103.2 points per game this season but in their three game losing streak they have not shot the ball well. "(The Celtics) came in and made shots and played well. We can make a lot of excuses about being fatigued, been on the road a long time, (playing) back to back, just getting home," said Carmelo Anthony, "There are a lot of things that can play into it. But we lost tonight. We’ll take it on our chin and get ready for Wednesday." Denver will be without leading rebounder Nene who is expected to miss about a week with a knee injury.

The Hawks did not play well in their last game either, losing 108-89 at Utah on Monday. "The results of the game were an embarrassment," said coach Mike Woodson. The Hawks have lost three of their last four games at Denver.
