The Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets moved into the second half on Monday, April 6, in a game that tipped at 6pm Pacific and gave fans one more late-season matchup to follow closely. Portland came in at 40-38, while the denver nuggets arrived at 50-28.
Fans could watch on the Rip City Television Network, either over the air or on cable, while viewers in Oregon and Washington had access through BlazerVision. Fans elsewhere could use League Pass or NBA TV.
The injury report shaped the picture before the opening tip. Jerami Grant, Vit Krejci, Damian Lillard, and Shaedon Sharpe were listed as out for the Trail Blazers. Bruce Brown was listed as questionable for Denver, while Spencer Jones, Zeke Nnaji, and Peyton Watson were out.
