Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers: Current situation
Your main concern if you are a Nuggets fan is the state of Jamal Murray. Ever since his injury last season he has just not looked the same, even dating back to the Olympics where he struggled with team Canada. At 12-10 the Nuggets are far from contention in the West, Nikola Jokic is putting up Wilt Chamberlain like numbers and they are barely over the .500 mark.
There is still no sign of Kawhi Leonard coming back, but Clippers fans will be happy with how their team has performed so far this season. Norman Powell has taken over the reigns as the team’s leading scorer, while center Ivica Zubac is in play to challenge for the Most Improved Player award with his stellar performances on the boards. James Harden is keeping all this together, the 35-year old is averaging 21.6 points and 8.5 assists per game.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
After an embarrassing loss to the Washington Wizards, the Nuggets responded well with a 141-111 win at Atlanta. Nikola Jokic followed up his 56 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists night with a 48-14-8 stat line, he is very close to averaging 40 points per game in the month of December. However, the Nuggets haven’t been fruitful from a bettors perspective, covering the spread just once in their last 5 games which makes them one of the more inconsistent teams in the NBA.
LA Clippers Stats & Form
The Clippers are the complete opposite, they’ve covered the spread 16 times in 25 games and are one of the most profitable bets in the NBA this season. In road games they are 7-3 ATS, that is an encouraging stat going into a road game against the Clippers where they are 6.5-point underdogs. However, it is worth noting that they are coming off back-to-back losses to the Rockets and Timberwolves, scoring just 80 and 106 points in those games.
Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers: Head-to-Head
LA has had the upper hand in recent regular season meetings winning 4 of the last 5, including the first 2 games played this season. They’ve also covered the spread in 5 of the last 6 meetings overall, however in road games at Ball Arena they’ve recorded just one victory in 6 visits.
Denver Nuggets – LA Clippers Odds
Odds of just 4/11 are available for a Nuggets home win here, while if you fancy the Clippers you can get 11/5 odds.
The point total has been set at 226.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers (13.12.2024)
Surprisingly the Clippers have won both meetings so far this season, a win on Friday would clinch them the regular season series which could be crucial down the road when it comes to playoff seeding. The Nuggets players, especially Nikola Jokic, are well aware of that and will do everything they can to avoid another defeat here. Denver plays this home game and then heads back out on the road for their next 3, a win would give them some momentum before they face 3 more Western Conference opponents. The 3-time MVP Jokic has been putting up video game like numbers over his last 2 games, scoring over 100 points against Washington and Atlanta combined. The Clippers haven’t had an answer for him either, in the 2 meetings this season he’s averaged 34.5 points and 11.5 rebounds on over 52% shooting and 47% efficiency from downtown. One of the main issues the Clippers will face in this game is their lack of three-point shooting. In their last 10 games they’ve scored 12 or less threes 8 times which is a concern when you’re playing in today’s modern NBA. With a dominant performance from Jokic, the Nuggets have every right to feel they can win and cover the spread here. We recommend taking the home team in this one.
