The Nuggets are coming into this game as a 7.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Nuggets have been playing well recently winning 2 of their last 3 games and both of those wins by more than 30 points. They have been playing well at home in those games but are coming off of a loss to the jazz in their last game. They lost at home by more than 20 points and they will likely be looking to bounce back after that bad performance. They are getting a Clippers team that is coming off of a win at home in their last game but have struggled in their last few road games recently. They have lost 3 straight games on the road and 2 of those losses were by double digits. The Nuggets have been much better than the Clippers lately and have been playing much better at home. The best bet to place in this game is on the Nuggets to cover the spread here as they will get a needed bounce back.
