00:00This is a peculiar line for me this next game.
00:02I'm going to have to lean on you for this one.
00:03I know it's back-to-back for Denver,
00:05but they're only a point-and-a-half favorite at Portland tonight,
00:08total 238-and-a-half,
00:11and I believe Denver is significantly better than Portland.
00:16So am I missing a player or two not in tonight for the Nuggets?
00:21The Nuggets have a pretty weird situation going on with injuries, right?
00:25Peyton Watson, I think, is a bigger miss than a lot of people really realize,
00:29and it comes down to even what happened in the game against the Clippers last night
00:34where Brooke Lopez had a wide-open dunk
00:37because Cameron Johnson was covering air in that inbound.
00:40A player like Peyton Watson really is a good role player to fit in that situation.
00:45I don't like fading teams on back-to-backs coming off a loss, right,
00:49especially against a team that has a below .500 record.
00:52So there's no way you're going to catch me fading Denver.
00:54We could see a maximum effort out of the Nuggets here.
00:57I'd actually prefer to take the Portland Trailblazers team total over,
01:01but, man, it's already set so high at over 120-and-a-half.
01:05That number is something I couldn't get to.
01:07I wouldn't be surprised to see this really just blow through the total,
01:10and I'm talking about something like 135-128,
01:15and that just smashes the over.
