Nuggets vs Clippers NBA Playoffs Prediction
The Dome will be rocking for this one as the Clippers look to maintain their home dominance. They were one of four teams in the NBA to win 30 games at home and they were second only to the OKC Thunder against the NBA spread at home, going 28-13-0. One of the team’s 30 home wins came in the only matchup with the Nuggets at Intuit and we like a repeat: Clippers 107, Nuggets 101

Kawhi Leonard to Score 25+ Points (-110)
Kawhi Leonard has scored at least 20 points in 17 straight games after his 39-point eruption in Game 2, so he’ll get you close to a winning wager just by showing up. You don’t need any deep NBA betting analysis to know he’s at least giving you a shot. And if you’ve seen any of this series, you know that the Nuggets have no answer. Leonard is a smoking-hot 24-for-34 from the field.
-
Aaron Gordon Over 14.5 Points (-124)
Gordon has fired up 27 shots through the first two games, so he’s been plenty active. He scored 25 points in Game 1 before being held just under this mark (14) in Game 2. There’s a chance Michael Porter Jr. (shoulder) isn’t able to suit up for the Nuggets. Aaron Gordon scored 30 points the last time he played in a game with Porter on the sidelines. This is among the best NBA prop picks we can find.
-
James Harden Over 2.5 3-Pointers (-162)
This is a pretty simple one in NBA expert picks. Take the guy who’s made more 3-pointers than anyone but Steph Curry (and more than anyone in the playoffs other than Curry, Klay and LeBron) to make just three of them. Harden is 8-for-20 from the arc in the series and has 19 made triples in six total games vs Denver this season.

Nuggets vs Clippers Moneyline Pick
The Nuggets are just a handful of days removed from a massive sideline shake-up, could be without a key starter, per NBA news. and are up against a superstar in Kawhi Leonard who has it all working right now. The Clippers will return home with some momentum and we don’t see them losing it tonight.
Bet on Clippers ML (-215)
Nuggets vs Clippers Spread Pick
As mentioned, Los Angeles made it a habit of covering the spread at home as well as anyone. The number has jumped from a much tighter spread for Game 2, but we see the Clippers having some really big runs tonight against a Nuggets team that faded after a strong start on Monday.
Bet on Los Angeles -5.5 (-110)
Nuggets vs Clippers Over/Under Pick
The teams have gone under in each of the first two games as the series becomes a bit of a grind. There are scorers out there and guys like Leonard and Nikola Jokic will get theirs, but both squads are attempting under 90 shots per game, even with an OT affair in the opener. It just isn’t a pace that screams scoring, so we’ll continue to side with the under until we there’s a shift in vibe.
