Los Angeles Has Lost Three Straight Games

The Clippers dropped to 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS over their last three games with a 110-100 loss at home to the Miami Heat on Monday night. Paul George led the team in scoring with 25 points while Kawhi Leonard missed the game due to a non-COVID illness. Leonard is listed as probable to return against the Nuggets while George is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

Los Angeles ranks 28th in the NBA on offense, averaging only 109.5 points per game. Leonard has only played 16 of the team’s 39 games due to various injuries and ailments and has not had a strong year, averaging 17.3 points per game. The Clippers will likely need Leonard to get back on track if they hope to start producing better results on offense.

Denver Is Battling Memphis For Top Spot In Western Conference

One night after upsetting the Boston Celtics 123-111 as 3.5-point underdogs at home on Sunday, the Nuggets lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-111 as 4-point road favorites on Monday. Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double with 30 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds in the win over Boston before settling for 24 points, nine assists and seven rebounds against Minnesota. Jokic is averaging 25.6 points, 10.8 rebounds and a career-high 9.5 assists per game so far in 2022-23.

Prior to the loss on Monday, Denver was 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS over its last eight games. The Nuggets enter Thursday’s action tied with the Memphis Grizzlies for first place in the Western Conference with a 24-13 SU record. Denver is 14-3 SU and 10-7 ATS at home this season.

Nuggets Player Prop: Jamal Murray UNDER 17.5 Points (-108)

Jamal Murray has been limited to 14 points in each of his last two games and has been tasked with trying to get the team’s second unit going as a facilitator. Murray is a dangerous scorer who is more than capable of surpassing this total, but recent form and a tough Clippers defense point to another low-scoring game on Thursday night.

Clippers: Keys to Win

Despite their poor offense, the Clippers have managed to stay afloat this season thanks to a defense that ranks fourth in the NBA, allowing only 109.4 points per game. Los Angeles will need a great game on defense to pull off an upset as a Clippers vs Nuggets prediction in this spot.

Nuggets: Keys to Win

Denver is a perfect 8-0 SU in its last eight home games and has scored at least 120 points in each of its last four home engagements. Another performance like that in the offensive zone should be enough to pick up a win and cover as a Clippers vs Nuggets pick on Thursday night.
