In a late nationally televised game, the 14-7 Nuggets will travel to Portland to take on the 13-8 Blazers. Denver has been the most profitable under team in the league this season. Will that be the case again tonight?
Our analysts discuss.
Betting Trends to Know
The Blazers have failed to cover their past five games. As coach of the Blazers, Terry Stotts has struggled mightily at home when on an against-the-spread losing streak, going 10-20 ATS when the Blazers are on at three-plus game ATS losing streak, losing bettors 10.6 units to make him the NBA’s least profitable coach in this spot.
The Nuggets are 14-6-1 (70%) to the under in their 21 games this season, profiting bettors 7.5 units to make them the most-profitable team to the under. The under is 7-1-1 in their road games, going under the total by an average of 12.1 points. — Evan Abrams
The over/under opened 214.5 and has been bet down 213.5 even though 80% of bets are on the over as of writing (see live data here).
Since 2005, when 40% or less of bets are on the under in division games but the line decreases by one or more points, the under has gone 318-224-5 (59%). — John Ewing
