After a long day of watching NBA “B” teams play, we get to settle in and check out the Denver Nuggets and Portland Trail Blazers at 9:15pm ET. It’s likely to be our last taste of regular season NBA. You can call me sentimental if you want, but this calls for a same game parlay. For old time’s sake.
After you are done with this article, don’t forget to check out our full game preview for picks on the side and total. You can also follow me on Twitter for any other bets I might throw out throughout the day.

Damian Lillard to record 40+ points (+680)
Everybody knows what time it is right now. It’s Dame time. The guy literally lives for this time of the season and he just comes through like a boss seemingly every time. He is coming off of a 40+ point game against the Phoenix Suns and they played their regulars. Tonight he may get a crack at the Denver Nuggets’ “B” side which would be beautiful. Lillard has now gone over 30 points in seven straight games and is in clear destruction mode. At +680, the books are begging you to take the over on 40+ tonight.
Portland Trail Blazers -9.5 (-110)
If I was in charge of the Nuggets, I would rest everybody. If they win, they could set up a series with the Los Angeles Lakers. No thanks. If they lose, they could end up with the Portland Trail Blazers. Anyone with working eyeballs and a functioning brain would probably pick Portland given the choice. If they do decide to rest everyone, then the Trail Blazers should run away with this one. Especially if Damian Lillard goes for 40+.
