Denver’s MVP center is flirting with a 28-point triple-double every night while Portland drags three calf-GTDs—Grant, Krejci, Sharpe—into altitude where the Nuggets already own a 25-13 cash register.

ESPN gets the late window at Ball Arena, total parked at 239.5, and the market still can’t decide if Portland’s mini-surge (4-1 L5) means anything once Jokic starts carving up drop coverage at the nail. Grab the side, the over, or just ride the Joker wave—then come tell the thread how loud it got on StreakChat.
