Nuggets Not Finding Gold
Despite winning on Sunday, the Nuggets have struggled to find their best form without Jamal Murray on the floor.
Last year’s NBA champions are slipping down the NBA West standings despite being 11-6 after recent losses to the likes of Orlando and Houston.
They shouldn’t have those losses on their record, but Murray’s absence has made life tough for the NBA heavyweights.
However, they bounced back with a solid win over the San Antonio Spurs, and that could give them the confidence needed to cover the +4.5 spread.
It’s a fair line for an NBA team of their class, and although they’re enduring a seemingly neverending road trip, they are built tough.
A worrying sign for bettors with Nuggets vs Clippers betting game statistics is their against the spread record. The Nuggets are 6-11 overall, but a hapless 1-8 on the road.
It’s tough to include them in our NBA predictions with that record, especially against a team like the Los Angeles Clippers.
Clippers Showing Their Best
It took some time, but the Clippers are finally starting to play winning basketball.
Following the James Harden trade, they played terribly. However, after posting four wins from their last five NBA games, the horizon seems brighter.
We were mightily impressed with their 107-88 win over the Dallas Mavericks, which was a terrific defensive effort.
If they can replicate that against the Nuggets, it could be a long day for the visitors at Crypto.com Arena on Monday.
“That’s the beauty of this team,” Harden said “On any given night, we’ve got guys that can step up and contribute, whether it’s with scoring or whether it’s other things. For us as a group, the only thing that matters is winning.
“So however that looks, there’s going to be different ways, different nights. Tonight we just did a really good job of four-quarter basketball.”
The Clippers are 6-9 ATS, but 4-3 ATS at home. Nuggets vs Clippers betting game odds are right to have the Clippers favored to win given their form.
Despite their recent wins coming over moderate teams, there is more confidence with the Clippers. They are healthy, and one of the top picks to make a deep NBA playoff run.
Take the Clippers to Win
Beating a Western Conference rival isn’t easy, but the Clippers are riding the wave of momentum.
They should be too good for the Nuggets, who must be tired after being on the road for so long, and that could be telling against the Clippers.
Nikola Jokic will be his usual dominant self, but going up against Kawhi Leonard and Paul George won’t be easy, and outside of Jokic, we don’t think the Nuggets have enough scoring power to cover the spread.
We expect NBA bettors to include the Clippers in NBA parlays.
