Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are a talented group that's worth a look in the underdog role, but they've lost 5 straight games, and they're 3-6 ATS on the season. At some point, the Clippers have to show something before we can get behind them with confidence. The Denver Nuggets continue to be a buzz saw this season, and they've won 6 straight games against the Clippers and 9 of the last 10 meetings overall. It would be surprising that this is the game where the Clippers figure things out. Give me the Nuggets.
