LA Clippers at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks

Denver are tipped to come out on top in this ‘winner takes all’ clash.

History is on the side of the Nuggets, who have home advantage, and there is a danger that the Clippers may have just emptied the tank in their Game 6 win.

  • Denver Nuggets are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings at home
  • Teams that held a 3-2 series lead with home advantage in round 1 are 50-2 in Game 7s
  • LA Clippers are 10-10 in their previous 20 road games
  • 8 of the previous 10 meetings have produced over 204.5 total points

Head To Head

  • Denver Nuggets lead the all-time series 116-97
  • LA Clippers won 111-105 when the two teams last met on May 1

LA Clippers Form

Los Angeles head back to Denver having forced Game 7 with their home victory on Thursday.

The Clippers made a losing start to the postseason as they were beaten 112-110 in overtime in Denver, but they issued a strong response.

They won the second meeting in Denver, 105-102, before returning home to take the series lead with a 117-83 win.

LA failed to keep that good run going as they lost 101-99 at home and 131-115 on the road, but they did fend off elimination with a 111-105 win over the Nuggets at home.

The Clippers claimed a place in the playoffs by putting together a 50-32 record to finish fifth in the Western Conference.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver return home with another chance to wrap up this series, having passed up the opportunity on Thursday.

The Nuggets enjoyed a winning start to this series as they beat LA 112-110 in overtime at home, but they failed to back that up.

They handed the series advantage to the Clippers with a 105-102 home loss, and then fell 117-83 on the road before rallying with a much-needed 101-99 win in LA.

Denver backed that up at home with a 131-115 victory, but they failed to close it out on the road on Thursday as they lost 111-105 to set up this winner-takes-all showdown.

The Nuggets earned their spot in the postseason by putting together a 50-32 regular season record to finish fourth in the Western Conference standings.

Verdict

As expected this series is going right down to the wire, and we are leaning towards Denver.

The Nuggets have history and home advantage on their side, while there is a danger that LA could be weary after putting everything into a Game 6 that saw James Harden play 47 of the 48 minutes.
