NBA Odds: Clippers-Nuggets prediction, pick and How to Watch

The Los Angeles Clippers (21-18) visit the Denver Nuggets (24-13) on Thursday night at 10:00 ET. Los Los has lost three consecutive games and is sixth in the Western Conference. Denver has won two of their last three games, and are tied for first place in West. This will be the second of four meetings between the teams this season.

Clippers and Nuggets are playing each other tonight.

Clippers have lost three consecutive games, but they have a good chance to cover tonight thanks to their elite defense. Paul George is questionable and Kawhi Leonard will be the focal point if he's out. Ivica Zubac will need to replicate his performance from the previous game against Denver's Nikola Jokic. He shot just 2-6 in the game and didn't record a block. He's averaging 10.2 PPG and 10-8 RPG this season. The 25-year-old is shooting 62% from floor and has been a force on defense where he averages 1.4 blocks per game.

Denver is well-equipped to cover the spread as home favorites tonight. The Nuggets are coming off a loss to the Timberwolves, but have otherwise performed very well of late. They knocked off the league-leading Boston Celtics and blitzed the stout Miami Heat defense in the last week. Denver has also gone 7-5 against the Spread following a defeat.

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are injured. The Nuggets have a 14-3 home record.

Denver Nuggets are currently -6 against the Clippers.
