After losing their last two games, both at the Moda Center, the Portland Trail Blazers (6-6) host the Denver Nuggets (8-5) Monday night in the first matchup this season between the Northwest Division rivals. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The Trail Blazers enter Monday night’s game having lost their last two games, the most recent being a 101-97 loss to the Brooklyn Nets Friday night at the Moda Center. Despite having more talent and playing at home, the Trail Blazers were thoroughly outplayed by the Nets team playing the fourth game of a five-game west coast road trip.
