Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers: Current situation
Denver caught a break in Game 4 after getting blown out earlier in the week at the Intuit Dome. The Nuggets won the game at the buzzer in controversial fashion, which only adds more fuel to the fire in this series. Coming back home to Ball Arena for Game 5 should lift them a bit as they finished the regular season 26-15 SU there.
The Clippers actually finished the regular season with a losing road record, so they are one of those more home reliant teams in the Western Conference. However, they did win one of the meetings at Ball Arena earlier this season, that was in the regular season opener back in late October. Coming into Game 5 they are the much healthier team here, so it’ll be interesting to see if they can use that to their advantage.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
Game 4 showed us that no lead is safe in the postseason, regardless how big it is and which opponent you are facing. Denver built up a 22-point lead at one point, but the Clippers stormed back in the 4th quarter forcing the game to go down the wire. Nikola Jokic went for 36 points, 21 rebounds and 8 assists, while Aaron Gordon scored the winning basket at the buzzer to elevate the Nuggets and tie this series at 2-2.
LA Clippers Stats & Form
The Clippers starters gave it their all in Game 4 with 4 of them scoring in double-figures. Kawhi Leonard scored 24 and grabbed 9 rebounds, while James Harden added 15 and 11 assists. Ivica Zubac had another double-double with 19 and 12 rebounds, he has played his heart out in this series on both ends trying to contain the 3-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers: Head-to-Head
Neither team has been able to connect back-to-back wins in this series so far, they’ve now played each other 8 times total if we include the regular season and the score is tied at 4-4. Ahead of Tuesday’s game it’s worth to note that 4 of the last 5 meetings at Ball Arena have ended with the scoring going under the total.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers (29.04.2025)
It’s been the most entertaining series by far in the 1st Round of the postseason, Game 5 could play a vital role in whoever comes out of this series. The winner of Game 5 has gone on to win 72% of the times in NBA history, which only highlights just how important Tuesday’s game will be. These two teams have faced off 8 times total during the regular season and playoffs so far, so there aren’t many secrets between them left. There is one concerning factor to consider if you are a Nuggets fan ahead of this game and that is the health of Russell Westbrook. Russ missed Game 4 with a nagging foot injury, that was a massive blow to the depth of the Nuggets who are one of the least deep teams in the NBA. That took an extra toll on the starters, especially Nikola Jokic who had to do a lot more work than in previous games logging 43 minutes. The Clippers showed a lot of character with their comeback in Game 4, but they came up short in the end thanks to a controversial ending. That will only light up a fire under James Harden and co., we expect them to respond as the series now moves to Ball Arena. Although they have a losing road record this season, we still give the Clippers a chance to win this one if they can quiet the crowd early. We recommend backing the Clippers to cover.
