With that Denver backcourt still severely short-handed due to injury, it's going to take a super-human effort from regular-season MVP Nikola Jokic to win in this series. He gave one in Game 2, but doing it again in Portland is another matter as I'd expect the Blazers to start doubling him. Damian Lillard has been spectacular so far, averaging 38.0 points and 11.5 assists in the series. Look for Portland to get a major boost from the fans, too, as capacity has been increased to 8,000 after the team was limited to 1,900 during its final four home games of the regular season.
