Free Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
Sunday, January 12th, the LA Clippers face the Denver Nuggets in the clubs first meeting of the season.
Last season, the teams played four times with the Nuggets taking three of the four contests. The Nuggets hold the all-time record having bested the Clippers in 96 of their 175 matches.
Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers got several days off to practice and rest their nagging injuries this week. They enter this match having played just once in week 12 versus the Warriors who LA defeated on Friday 109-100.

In the win, Kawhi Leonard demonstrated what rest does for his aching knee as he feasted scoring 36 points on 14 of 25 from the field coupled with some jaw-dropping dunks. Leonard added five assists and nine rebounds.
The rest of the team looked a little rusty with so many days off but Leonard was joined by Lou Williams (21), Patrick Beverley (12) and Montrezl Harrell (11) as the other double-digit contributors.
The team leaders feature Kawhi Leonard for scoring (25.6), Lou Williams for assists (6.4) and Mo Harkless for steals (1.1). Montrezl Harrell leads the other three categories of rebounds (7.4), field goal percentage (57.2%) and blocks (1.1).
Paul George (hamstring strain) sat out in the match versus the Warriors and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Since it’s not a back to back situation there is no reason to assume Leonard won’t suit up for this match.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets enter this contest on the second game of a home back-to-back as they face the Cavaliers on Saturday. The last game prior to this match was the game against the Mavericks which the Nuggets held on to win by a slim one-point margin (107-106) and required a closing frame of 21-17 to net the victory.
In the Mavericks match, Nicola Jokic led the way with 33 points along with seven assists and six rebounds. He was joined by Jerami Grant (15), Jamal Murray (14), Mason Plumlee (10) and Malik Beasley (10) in double-digit contributions.
In terms of individual team leaders, Nikola Jokic leads the four main categories with 19.3 points 6.4 assists, 9.7 rebounds, and 50.8 percent field goal percentage. The hustle categories are led by Gary Harris for steals (1.4) and Paul Millsap for blocks (0.7).
Will Barton missed the last game due to a personal matter, but is expected to play Saturday against the Cavaliers and therefore Sunday versus the Clippers.
Paul Millsap sat out the previous game with a left knee contusion and could miss both games this weekend. Bol Bol (foot) is out indefinitely.

Free Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
With the Nuggets playing on Saturday night the rest advantage lies with the Clippers especially after getting four days off prior to their Friday match.
However, winning in Denver is never easy and the Clippers continue to have issues getting their offense flowing, particularly their starting unit. This should end up being a defensive battle.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Bet the under
The Nuggets-Cavaliers game will occur after this posting and may affect my thought process but I’m leaning to a defensive battle and suggest betting the under.
