- Analysis
- The Clippers are coming into this game with a 50-32 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 8 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games and they have been on fire to end the season. They ended the season with a road win over the Warriors and have won their last 3 straight games on the road as well, but they were only 20-21 on the road this season and were much worse in those games. They are going up against a Nuggets team that is also 50-32 this season and they have the home advantage in this series. They were struggling a bit near the end of the season, but they fired their head coach and GM which gave them the boost they needed as they finished the season winning 3 straight games against some quality opponents. A lot of their struggles down the stretch came with Jamal Murray out of the lineup too, but he will be playing in this game. The Nuggets have been much better at home this season at 26-15 as well. The Clippers won 2 of the 4 games against the Nuggets at home this season, but the Nuggets also won their 2 games at home and those 2 games were not even close. The Nuggets have not seen the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard in the lineup this season and he will be playing in this game, but a healthy Nuggets team will be able to shut them down at home. The Nuggets will cover the spread in this game.
