The Nuggets have been the least aggressive offense in the NBA this year with respect to shot attempts from downtown.The matchup against Portland is a difficult one for 3-point shots; when the Trail Blazers are the visiting squad, the opposing team's starting SFs have averaged the 5th-least threes per game in the league this year (1.1).The Denver Nuggets are expected to see a decline in opportunities in this game from squaring off against the 2nd-least up-tempo pace-of-play offense in the league over the last 10 games (the Trail Blazers).
