Denver Nuggets Form

Denver head out on the road for the first time in this series looking to bounce back from a home defeat that levelled up the series with the LA Clippers.

The Nuggets enjoyed a winning start to this series as they edged the Clippers in overtime in Game1, 112-110.

They failed to back that up in their second home game though, as they suffered a 105-102 defeat at the hands of LA that levelled the series at 1-1.

Denver sealed another trip to the playoffs by compiling a 50-32 regular season record to finish fourth in the Western Conference.

The Nuggets have now made the postseason in each of the last seven seasons, and during this run they have failed to make it past the first round just once.

LA Clippers Form

LA head back home having given themselves a slight edge in this series with that Game 2 victory in Denver.

The Clippers opened the postseason with back-to-back road games at Ball Arena, and they were able to split the series with the Nuggets.

They suffered a 112-110 overtime defeat in the series-opener, only to rebound with a 105-102 victory.

LA secured their place in the playoffs by compiling a 50-32 record to finish fifth in the Western Conference standings.

In doing so, the Clippers made the postseason for the 12th time in 14 seasons, but their last two appearances have seen them bow out in round one.

Verdict

Home advantage was always going to be critical in this series, so LA have the edge after a huge road win.

The Clippers now return home where they have been on a dominant run, so we are backing the hosts to go 2-1 up in this series.
