| re once again underachieving. The Blazers opened the season with a big 102-90 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers -- the team that swept Portland out of last year's postseason. However, the Blazers proceeded to suffer losses to the Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets and those same Lakers to fall to 1-3. The setback to the Nuggets was especially mind-boggling, as Denver's roster consists of players that would have a hard time garnering playing time on Portland's deep squad. Still, the Nuggets rolled to a 96-79 v |

| Minneapolis, MN (MySportsbook) - The Denver Nuggets travel to the Target Center tonight to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in what will be the season-opener for both teams.

Citing the loss of Dikembe Mutombo a few seasons ago, GM Kiki Vandeweghe didn't want to allow the franchise to make a similar mistake under his watch by allowing a star player to leave via free agency with the Nuggets getting nothing in return.

| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - Michael Jordan made his preseason debut Monday and finished with eight points in 15 minutes in the Washington Wizards' 96-73 win over the Denver Nuggets.
