Expert predictions split down the middle on Nuggets-Blazers series

ESPN recently collected 18 of their NBA experts to predict every first-round series along with tonight’s Warriors and Grizzlies play-in matchup. As you scroll down the list, every series prediction is very lopsided except for Denver-Portland.

Even presumed tight contests like Bucks(3)-Heat(6) and Knicks(4)-Hawks(5) have 13 of the votes going to Milwaukee and 15 votes towards the Knicks. In fact, DraftKings Sportsbook has Atlanta favored in that series at -121 compared to Knicks at +100.

Seemingly everywhere you turn for predictions and odds regarding this Denver-Portland series it is a toss-up.
