Clippers Stats
LA ranks 23rd offensively (110.0) and fourth defensively (108.4), while its net differential is plus +1.6, which ranks 11th in the association.
Through 36 contests, the Clippers are one of the strong bets against the spread with a 21-14-1 record.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- PJ Tucker, PF (OUT indefinitely — personal)
Denver Nuggets
Considering Aaron Gordon’s absence it’s not surprising the Nuggets have dropped in the stats defensively.
However, the overall defensive performance (especially in second halves) has witnessed small improvements thanks to Peyton Watson and a re-invigorated Russell Westbrook.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks fourth offensively (117.0) and tied for 18th defensively (113.5) with a net differential of plus +3.5 which ranks eighth overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 15-18-1 record through 34 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Nikola Jokic, C (questionable — illness)
- Spencer Jones, F (OUT — thigh)
- Aaron Gordon, PF (OUT — calf)
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely — knee)
- DaRon Holmes II, PF (OUT for season — Achilles)

Warriors vs. Nuggets NBA Betting Trends:
- All in all, the Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Denver.
- The total has gone UNDER in 7 of LA Clippers’ last 9 games.
- Also, the Clippers are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing in Denver.
- By comparison, Denver is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.
- The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver’s last 5 games against LA Clippers.
- Additionally, the Nuggets are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games as the underdog.
Free NBA Prediction:
Gordon isn’t on the same tier as Leonard but the Nuggets are anxious for his return considering the big three of Joker, Murray, and AG have only played in 13 games together this season.
The rest advantage will help the Clippers but more importantly, the potential for Jokic to be out again makes this a tough game to predict. If he’s in I like Denver, but without him it could get ugly quickly, especially playing on consecutive nights.
That said, Denver hasn’t lost any of the second matches of the seven B2B sets they’ve played including when they lost the front side (5x). So I’ll roll the dice that Jokic plays and take the points.
