Mike Malone can rest his starters.
Just play Rivers and Campazzo
Throw in the two Green's and Bol Bol,
Stir in some "Elevation" and "Home Court/ Road for Blazers"
Easy win for the Nuggets right?

So, who starts? I have a feeling Portland takes this one.
 
Glad Dame will be resting this game. Like we are beating the Nuggets. It’s an L even if he plays
 
this is great opportunity to see how the blazers look with powell at the two and actual wing with the starting unit

ideally, wed play with dame and w/o cj mccollum, but this could give some insight too

i dont think ant will start, we need his scoring off the bench, but maybe smith jr starts the game, although not likely

CJ/Norm/Roco/Nance/Nurk probably
 
Look Denver is missing two huge pieces, this is winnable
 
I've watched the NBA or decades. From that I can confidently say that several times a year when teams are missing their best player, and leader, in a road game, it's actually pretty common those teams get wins. Other players step up while the opposing players relax and expect easy sailing

Yes. We won in Philly last year with Elleby leading the way on both ends of the court when Dame sat out.
 
What is our defensive ranking after the Rockets game?

I’ve actually made a good amount taking these bets. It’s a natural letdown situation. It’s happened twice in the last 2 seasons just against the Sixers. Last season in Philly when Dame and CJ were out, the Blazers beat Philly. And this season with Embiid and Harris out, the Sixers beat Portland.
 
Need to bench all the starters except Norm. No energy and intensity to start the game. Just too cool to give any effort.
