The Denver Nuggets look to clinch the second-best record in the Western Conference and set a franchise record with their 55th win tonight when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers, who can guarantee they'll start the postseason at home with a victory.

The Nuggets, who also matched their franchise-record win total set in 1987-88, can secure second place in the conference with a win or a Houston loss at Dallas.

The Blazers could finish with the same record as the Nuggets by winning this game to earn a split of the four-game season series, but Denver would still win the Northwest title because it will finish with a better record within the division.

The Blazers have one of the league's best home records at 33-7 but finished with a losing record on the road at 20-21.

Portland has won 18 of 20 at home, where it beat Denver 101-92 on Dec. 23. For the best NBA lines head over to the Bodog online sportsbook.
