Okay, so today I decided to dive into the world of sports predictions, specifically for the Blazers vs. Nuggets game. I’ve never really done this before, so it was a bit of a learning curve, but also kinda fun!

First, I started by just looking at recent game scores. I opened up a few sports news websites and just scrolled through their NBA sections. I wanted to see how both teams were doing lately – were they on a winning streak, or were they struggling?
- Blazers: Won 3 of their last 5.
- Nuggets: Won 4 of their last 5.
Seeing those numbers made me think, “Okay, Nuggets are slightly hotter right now.”
Digging a Little Deeper
Then I figured I should check out any injuries. A star player being out could totally change the game, right? So I went to the injury reports. It’s always a bit tricky because sometimes it’s not super clear if someone is definitely out or just maybe out. Both teams had some players on injury list.
Head-to-Head History
After that, I looked up their head-to-head record. Basically, how have these two teams done when they’ve played each other in the past? This felt important. I found a website that showed their past matchups. Nuggets won the last couple, but before that, it was pretty back-and-forth.
Making My “Prediction”
Finally, after staring at all this stuff, I had to make a call. It felt more like an educated guess, honestly. Based on the recent performance and the Nuggets’ slight edge in the head-to-head, I decided to go with the Nuggets to win. It’s not a super confident prediction, but it’s something!

It was interesting to see how much info is out there. I definitely didn’t use any fancy stats or anything, just basic stuff. Maybe next time I’ll try to get into more advanced metrics. This was a fun first try, though!
