Denver vs Clippers: prediction for the NBA match
A match between Denver and Clippers will close out the game day in NBA. Will the Los Angeles team withstand in Colorado? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Denver Nuggets
USADenver lost the top spot in the Western conference, but Mike Malone's men are still one of the best home teams of the league. Nuggets have lost only three home games in the current season. They are going into the Clippers game with an ongoing streak of eight home victories. The Nuggets are considered clear favorites of the match.
In latest home games Denver secured home victories over Boston (124:113) and Miami (124:119). It is almost impossible to beat Denver at Ball Arena.
LA Clippers
USAClippers played their recent matches without Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. Without their leaders, Clippers suffered defeats to Miami (100:110) and Indiana (130:131). After these defeats team dropped to the 6th position in the Western conference.
Paul George might be able to recover in time for the match against Denver. He travelled to Colorado with a team, but doctors are yet to make a decision. Same can be said about Kawhi Leonard.

Tip and bets
At the end of November teams played a head-to-head match in Los Angeles. Denver earned a victory in that match, but overall it was a boring game. Teams scored only 218 points. We are expecting the same in the upcoming game. Clippers will probably play without their leaders, so they are unlikely to score many points.
Our prediction - total under 228,5 points
We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from the Clippers, especially if they will play without Leonard and George. In this case, we offer to place a bet on total over.
Our second bet - Handicap (-3,5) points on Denver
