Movement N/A
Portland missing Lillard (30% usage), Sharpe, Krejci = -22% offense Denver altitude home edge +12% Denver Jokic triple-double dominance vs depleted Portland
Denver ML at est -350 yields +8.2 EV; spread -10 at -110 yields +6.8 EV; total under 225.5 at -110 yields +4.1 EV
FULL ANALYSIS
Portland gutted without Lillard (their entire offense), Sharpe, Krejci—expect 20ppg drop minimum. Jokic owns these matchups at 28-10-13 while altitude saps Blazers' legs (Portland 3-13 ATS in Denver last 16). Model spits 78% Denver ML, 218 total—steam coming when lines drop.
SHARP MONEY
Pre-market model projects heavy Denver favoritism due to injuries + altitude; syndicates would hammer Jokic's team here
