(NBA) Denver vs. Portland, 05/27/2021 10:30 PM, Score: 120 - 115
Total: 227.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* TOP THURSDAY TOTAL on the UNDER Nuggets/Blazers.

The first two games of this series have snuck OVER the number, but we believe this all important Game 3 will prove to be more of a defensive affair.

Without Jamal Murray in the lineup, the Nuggets will be leaning on big man Jokic more than ever in the playoffs, and that'll definitely be the case here in Game 3.

Clearly the home side will want to stretch this Nuggets defense by shooting from range, but the depth and experience that Denver brings to the defensive end will also help in driving this Game 3 total under the number.

Portland opted to just put single coverage on Jokic in Game 2, and the results were disastrous. There's no way they can leave him open again like that.

Long story short, I expect each team to "double down" on the defensive end in Game 3.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
