The last games of the regular round in the NBA will be played today, at the Moda Center Portland.

Trail Blazers, come from losing with a very close score on Thursday against the Phoenix Suns 118-117, so if they want to improve their position in the standings at the end of the season against the third-ranked Denver Nuggets – who come with a streak of three wins in a row, winning this Friday against Detroit Piston 104-91 – they will need to be inspired to close the regular season with a victory.

Let’s review five interesting facts about both teams:

1. The Denver Nuggets have a current winning streak against the Portland Trail Blazers of two wins, both just this season.

2. Trail Blazers have a record in their last five games of four wins, which were cut short in the last game against Suns.

3. The Denver Nuggets are currently on a three-game winning streak, but were coming off two straight losses.

4. Trail Blazers have the longest winning streak against the Denver Nuggets, with ten wins in a row, starting in 1996 and culminating in 1998.

5. There are 186 games between the two teams, with the Trail Blazers holding the lead with 99 wins all-time, while the Denver Nuggets have 87 wins.

Can the Trail Blazers bounce back from the loss to Phoenix Suns?

The team that lives at the Moda Center will have to recover this Sunday in the closing game of the NBA regular season, against a team they have not been able to beat this season.

They hope to be able to do it to close with a victory that will allow them to arrive motivated to the final phase, since otherwise the team’s self-esteem could be affected by losing two games in a row before the end of the season.
