Los Angeles Slumping In March

The Clippers couldn’t get much going in a 121-92 loss on the road to the Utah Jazz on Friday night as 5.5-point road underdogs. Los Angeles trailed by 10 points at the end of the first quarter and was down 71-34 at halftime. With the blowout loss, the Clippers fell to 2-6 SU and 2-5-1 ATS over their last eight games after going 7-1 SU and ATS over their previous eight.

Los Angeles’ injury-riddled offense has struggled to produce in recent weeks, averaging only 103 points per game over its current 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS run. The Clippers need to find consistent scoring behind Reggie Jackson, who has been the team’s primary scoring option with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Norman Powell out.

Bettors taking Los Angeles as their Clippers vs Nuggets prediction will be hoping that the team’s four-day break gave the Clippers a chance to regroup.

Denver Has Lost Three Straight At Home

The Nuggets suffered another blowout loss at home on Sunday night as the Boston Celtics rolled to a 124-103 win in Denver. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both scored 30 points against Denver while Nikola Jokic was the only player on the Nuggets to score more than 13 points with his team-leading 23. Denver is now 0-3 SU and ATS over its last three home games with an average margin of defeat of 14.3 points over that stretch.

Jokic is actually having his highest-scoring month of the season in March, averaging 29.3 points in 10 games. Denver’s biggest issue of late has been its defense, which has allowed 117 points per game over the team’s current 2-4 SU and ATS skid. The Nuggets were 12-2 SU and 10-4 ATS prior to their current dip.

Clippers vs Nuggets Pick & Insights

Clippers: Keys To Cover

Los Angeles has had its ups and downs on defense this month while mostly just having downs on offense. The offense should be able to get something going against this struggling Nuggets defense, so the key to covering the spread as a Clippers vs Nuggets prediction for Los Angeles will be to play to its potential in the backcourt.

Nuggets: Keys To Cover

Denver beat the Clippers 130-128 in overtime when these teams last met in January. Los Angeles has cooled off considerably on offense since then, so a strong performance from Jokic and the offense at home should help drive the Nuggets to a win as a Clippers vs Nuggets pick favorite in this matchup.
