Clippers vs Nuggets Game Center
Standout Stats
- The Nuggets started off a little rusty in their first game back from the all-star break in a 114-104 victory over Dallas on Friday. Denver had an excellent showing on the glass, out rebounding the Mavericks by a 73-54 margin.
- Montrezl Harrell matched a career-high 30 points on 11-of-14 shooting in the Clippers’ 112-106 road victory on Friday. With leading scorer Tobias Harris traded out of town, expect L.A. to lean on the bench duo of Harrell and Lou Williams more going forward.
- Nuggets all-star center Nikola Jokic paced the team with eight assists vs the Mavericks, as Denver handed out 32 assists on 42 made field goals in the triumph. On the season, Jokic is averaging 7.7 assists per game.
- Nuggets point guard Isaiah Thomas is 8-of-17 from the floor in two games since making his season debut. Thomas’ presence will give the Nuggets offense a different look in this series, as Denver took two of the first three meetings between the clubs in 2018-19. The most recent win came in a 121-100 home victory on January 10 for the Nugs.
- Betting on chalk has been a great decision in this series. In the past four meetings between the Nuggets and Clippers, favorites are 4-0 ATS. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the previous 11 clashes between the Western Conference clubs.
My best bet for Clippers-Nuggets
Nuggets -9
The Nuggets home dominance this season has been something to behold, as they’re both winning straight-up and covering the spread when playing at Pepsi Center. Denver has covered in 20 of its 29 home tilts this season. The Clippers have fared well despite trading Harris, but it’s clear the franchise’s focus is not on this season. The Nuggets should win this one handedly and cover the -9 spread in the process.
The OVER is 4-0 in the Clippers last four games.away The favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between the Clippers and Nuggets. The UNDER is 6-2 in the last 8 between the Clippers and Nuggets in Denver.
