Nuggets vs Clippers Prediction, Picks and Odds for NBA Playoff Game 4

The L.A. Clippers made a statement by blowing out the Denver Nuggets to take a 2-1 series lead. Unsurprisingly, the NBA’s latest line pegs the hosts as moderate favorites. A win will give the Clippers a critical 3-1 series lead. The Nuggets will put up a better performance than Thursday’s, but the Clippers’ depth and coaching trumps even the great Nikola Jokic.

The CLIPPERS get the 117-83 WIN over the Nuggets and TAKE A 2-1 SERIES LEAD 😤

Nuggets vs Clippers NBA Playoffs Prediction

No, the Clippers will not win by 30+ points again. But they are still our NBA prediction for winning. Denver was woefully outplayed, even with Jokic putting up a triple-double. He was visibly frustrated as Denver’s loss dropped it to 3-6 in its last nine against the Clippers.

Nuggets vs Clippers Best NBA Player Props Today

• Clippers C Ivica Zubac Under 12.5 Rebounds (-120)

Ivica Zubac has arguably been the Clippers’ best player behind Kawhi Leonard. Since the All-Star break, he’s put up 19.6 points and 12.6 boards. But his rebounding total is a tad too high. He’s only eclipsed 12 boards in seven of his last 19 games. He averages 11.3 in this series. Bet under his NBA odds.

Bet on Ivica Zubac Under 12.5 Rebounds (-120)

• Nuggets C Nikola Jokic Over 26.5 Points (-124)

What more can Nikola Jokic do for Denver? He’s averaging a triple-double with a 62.1% true-shooting percentage. When push comes to shove, bank on the hyper-efficient Jokic to be more of a scorer. Jokic averages nearly 30 points a game this season and 31 in defeats. He’s a solid bet to score over his points prop.

• Clippers G James Harden Under 9.5 Assists (-143)

Despite his spotty playoff reputation, no one can knock James Harden’s playoff series thus far. He’s averaging 23.3 points with nine assists. But why is his assist prop so high? Our NBA picks today is for him to go under it, as he has not had more than nine assists in nine of his last 11 playoff games.

Nuggets vs Clippers Moneyline Pick

The Clippers will not only win but are a hot bet on the NBA Finals futures. We won’t get ahead of ourselves, but L.A. is 6-1 in its last seven playoff home games when Leonard is healthy. As hosts, it is 13-1 since the All-Star break with a +17.4 net rating, both of which top the NBA. Bet the Clippers to win, straight-up.

Nuggets vs Clippers ATS Pick

Betting the Clippers against the spread (ATS) may get dicier as they need to win by two possessions. But this is still a sound NBA playoff pick as they lead the NBA in cover rate (72.4%) as a home favorite (21-8 ATS). Denver is also only 6-14 ATS in its last 20 games. Bet L.A. ATS or just stick to the moneyline.
