Denver Nuggets are still trying to find their groove, and for the moment, they aren’t doing well. Nikola Jokic is giving his best, but other players underachieve. The Clippers have a new leader – James Harden. And they better get used to that because Kawhi Leonard won’t be there when they need him the most.
Denver Nuggets News
The Nuggets’ record is 10-7. Now, that’s not good at all. Why is this happening? Our first and biggest reason is Jamal Murray’s terrible performance. He is way below 20 points per game and has a subpar shooting percentage – 41.5% FG.
Denver has been in a hot-and-cold rhythm lately, winning and losing in the last five events. It is interesting that all of the wins during this period were on the road: in Memphis, 122-110, then in LA vs. Lakers, 127-102, and the Jazz in Salt Lake, 122-103.
LA Clippers News
Clippers had a tough matchup in their last appearance. They’ve met the Minnesota Timberwolves and lost following a very tough and nail-biting finish, 93-92. It was their fourth consecutive road game, and they are finally returning home.
James Harden had 20 points, 11 assists, and six boards, a team-high. The Beard took the wheel now and is the team’s main player. We need to mention Kevin Porter Jr., who came off the bench to score 17 points and grab seven boards in 24 minutes on the floor.

Denver Nuggets vs. LA Clippers Betting Prediction
The Clippers have an outstanding defense, which just a few noticed. Right now, this team is fourth in points allowed. The Nuggets are still not at their best, and consistency is their problem, so we have to pick the home team to triumph here.
