The Nuggets had a 2-game winning streak going, including beating the Heat in Miami, but lost their last game. They will have to catch fire to have any chance to make the post-season, as they are 10 games out of the last playoff spot in the West.
These 2 teams have split the 2 games facing each other this season with each winning at home. The Nuggets won the last game, but the Clippers were without Chris Paul, who had 15 assists in the win over Cleveland.
Blake Griffin has scored at least 20 points in 26 straight games and in the win over the Cavs he went for a double-double.
[ad-6571516]
The Clippers keep on winning even though they have been without a couple of their top scorers in Jamal Crawford and J.J. Reddick. Reddick is out for tonight’s tame and Crawford is a question mark.
While Kenneth Faried had another solid game in the Atlanta loss the team’s leading scorer in Ty Lawson had a terrible game going for a season low 2 points. Faried is averaging 24 ppg and 10.3 rebounds in his past 6 games. Lawson has averaged 27 ppg in his last 3 home games,.
This is not a good match up for Denver, as they only rank 28th in the league in opponents’ points allowed and will be facing a Clippers’ team that is the highest scoring team in the league.
Betting Trends
The Clippers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games, and they have an Under record of 4-0-1 in their last 5 games.
The Nuggets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 games.
The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 games between these 2 teams.
Jason’s Pick:
The Clippers have a dynamic offense and in the Cleveland win they also played great defense. The Nuggets’ defense will get torched in this game and with Paul on the court the Clippers will win and cover tonight.
