Clippers vs. Nuggets Picks
Point Spread Pick for Clippers vs. Nuggets
- Los Angeles Clippers to cover. (4 Units)
The Clippers have the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 117 points per game in their last three games, while making 50 percent of their shots, compared to the Nuggets, who averaged 105 points per game on 44 percent shooting. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws during that span. Their ball movement has been good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also don’t turn the ball over much and won’t give up many easy-scoring opportunities. The Nuggets aren’t very good defensively, and they’re playing on consecutive nights, which means they will be dealing with fatigue, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Clippers. Take Los Angeles to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Clippers vs. Nuggets
- Under (4 Units)
The Clippers average 112.7 points per game. They play at the second-slowest pace in the league, averaging 101 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 102 points per game in their last three games. The Nuggets average 120.4 points per game. They play at the seventh-slowest pace in the league, averaging 102 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 98.7 points per game in their last three games. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
