Pick2Play for Saturday 3/9...
Game: Portland at Denver
Line: Portland ? 6.5
Trends/Angles/Summary:
The Portland Trail Blazers are the hottest team in the NBA right now. After losing 6 straight games back in Dec, the Trailblazers have won 25 out of 31 games including 12 in a row. Portland has also posted an impressive 8-2 ATS record in their last ten games. With numbers like these one would think Denver doesn?t stand a chance, right? Well, we think they do and this is why: The Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in the past nine meetings against Portland including 4-0 SU and ATS the last 4 at Denver. The last time Portland played in Denver (2/5/02) they were also on a hot streak winning six of its previous seven games and Denver beat them outright 97-96 as a 5 point underdog. Denver is also 11-6 ATS at home vs. teams above .500 and 3-1 ATS their last 4 games overall. Portland will be playing their 4th game in 6 days, including today?s back to back game. Although Portland is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 on one days rest, they are 6-12 ATS on no days rest for the year (2-11 ATS before this current winning streak).
The line is currently Portland - 6.5, but you might want to wait as we expect the public to jump on Portland and push the line to 7 or 7.5 near game time.

Denver:
8-1 ATS vs Portland last 9
4-0 SU last 4 at home vs Portland
4-0 ATS last 4 at home vs Portland

11-6 ATS at home vs. teams above .500 at home
