LA Clippers Form

Los Angeles go into their second home game in the series having won back-to-back games to take a 2-1 lead.

The Clippers began the postseason with back-to-back road games, and they gave themselves an edge by winning one of them.

They suffered a 112-110 overtime defeat in the series-opener, but responded immediately to win the second meeting in Denver, 105-102.

Los Angeles then backed up that victory in their first home game of the series, as they blew out the Nuggets 117-83 in Game 3.

The Clippers clinched a place in the playoffs by compiling a 50-32 record to finish fifth in the Western Conference standings.

Verdict

Los Angeles have taken control of the series and we expect them to strengthen their grip.

The Clippers have been on a tremendous run of form at home and just dominated the Nuggets in their Game 3 victory.
