Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Odds

The Denver Nuggets (42-18 SU, 33-26-1 ATS) are 11-2 SU and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against the Los Angeles Clippers (33-29 SU, 31-31 ATS). The Nuggets will try to keep things rolling against the Clippers with another win in Denver this Sunday night.

Denver is 4-0 SU and ATS in its last four games against Los Angeles with an average margin of victory of 16.3 points per game over that stretch. This head-to-head series has trended heavily towards low scores in recent seasons as the UNDER is 13-3-1 in the last 17 games between the Nuggets and Clippers.

Latest Betting Notes: Clippers

The Clippers were on the losing end of the second highest scoring game in NBA history on Friday night in a 176-175 loss in double overtime to the Sacramento Kings. Kawhi Leonard led the team in scoring with a season-high 44 points in the loss and Paul George finished the game with 34 points. Russell Westbrook chipped in 17 points and 14 assists in his first game with the Clippers.

Los Angeles fell to 3-3 SU and 2-4 ATS over its last six games with the loss as 6-point favorites. The Clippers were on a 6-2 SU and 7-1 ATS run prior to this recent slump.

Latest Betting Notes: Nuggets

The Nuggets had a four-game winning streak snapped with a 112-94 road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 15 points and 13 rebounds in the loss. Jokic is the current favorite to win a third straight NBA MVP trophy this season averaging 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game.

Denver is still 8-3 SU and ATS over its last 11 games despite the loss as 3-point underdogs to Memphis. The Nuggets were able to pull their starters from the game before the fourth quarter with the team trailing by 32, so fatigue shouldn’t be an issue in this second game of a back-to-back on Sunday.

The Keys to Victory: Clippers

Los Angeles has been wildly inconsistent on offense over the team’s current 5-5 SU and ATS run, scoring 108 points or fewer five times and scoring 124 points or more four times. The Clippers are 1-10 SU and 2-9 ATS in the last 11 games that they have failed to score at least 110 points in.

Friday’s 175-point effort is obviously an anomoly, but Kawhi Leonard has been looking good since early January after getting off to a slow start this season. If Russell Westbrook can gel with Leonard and George, perhaps more consistency on offense will follow, starting with an upset win in Denver.

The Keys to Victory: Nuggets

The Nuggets have not had any trouble with the Clippers this season, holding them to just 99.3 points per game en route to a 3-0 SU and ATS record against them. Denver also enters Sunday’s matchup in strong form on defense having allowed only 108.6 points per game over the team’s current 4-1 SU and ATS run.

No team has been better at home than the Nuggets this season as Denver boasts a 27- 4 SU and 20-10-1 ATS record at home in 2022-23. As long as the Nuggets continue these trends of playing great at home and great on defense, they’ve got a great shot at bouncing back from Saturday night’s loss with a win and cover in this one.
