Clippers vs Nuggets Prediction, Picks and Odds for NBA Playoffs Game 7

As Nikola Jokic said, this is the “best basketball you can watch,” as Game 7 between his Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers on Saturday night should be a tightly-contested epic. The NBA betting lines slightly favor Denver, which won its last home game and is 9-2 in its last 11 at the Ball Center against the Clippers. Most notably, Denver will have two of the three best players in this game on its team.

Clippers vs Nuggets NBA Playoffs Prediction

While the series’ first four games were low-scoring (totals went under), the last two have seen a return to prolific offense. We see this trend continuing as the Nuggets edge the Clippers with the total going over the one set by the NBA playoff odds. Buckle up and grab some popcorn.

Nuggets 111, Clippers 109

Clippers vs Nuggets Best Player Props Today

• Nuggets G Jamal Murray Over 21.5 Points (-112)

Jamal Murray may be on-and-off, but he’s consistently shown up in big games. The Canadian dropped 43 points to give Denver a 3-2 series edge and has scored 25+ points in six of the last eight deciding games of Nuggets playoff series. Bank on Murray to go over his point props easily this Saturday.

• Nuggets C Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple-Double (+100)

While Murray fills the bucket, Jokic will do a bit of everything. The former Finals MVP is averaging a triple-double this series with 25.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, and 10.5 assists. He’s had one in half the games and fell just shy in the other three. We could even see him play all 48 minutes with how poorly Denver plays without him. Bet the plus money on his NBA props.

• Clippers G James Harden Under 35.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-108)

While the Nuggets’ stars flourish, we have to go against James Harden’s props. The former MVP is notorious for choking in the playoffs, but even his combo props are too high. Even if he posts a 20-point double-double, he could still fall short. Bet under this as part of your NBA picks tonight.

Clippers vs Nuggets Moneyline Pick

We correctly anticipated a high-scoring Clippers victory in Game 6. This time, we expect a little bit less scoring (still over the total, though) and Denver eking out a victory. The Nuggets have beaten the Clippers by a possession in two of their three wins. Denver is just more clutch and is 10-7 in one-possession decisions versus Los Angeles, which is just 6-9.

Bet On Nuggets ML (-125)

Clippers vs Nuggets Spread Pick

Denver should win and cover, as it only needs a two-point victory to cash against the spread (ATS). It’s rare to see NBA news made with two wins in a series by a single point. Even if this game goes to overtime, the Nuggets cover despite their unflattering 3-14 ATS record in their last 17 home games. Bet Denver ATS.

Bet On Nuggets -1.5 (-110)

Clippers vs Nuggets Over/Under Pick

The totals have gone under in four of these teams’ last six NBA games and 12 of their last 18 meetings. But at only 207.5, this one should go the other way. These teams average over 215 points together in this series. At least one team has hit the 110-point mark in four of the six games. This one goes over.

Bet on Clippers vs Nuggets Over 207.5 (-110)
