LiontipsDenver vs Clippers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Denver are still holding on to the 6th spot in the Western Conference. Even the Nuggets' heavy defeat to Utah (102:125) didn't worsen the situation. Before the start of the season Nuggets were considered one of the favourites in the West. But they failed to live up to the expectations. Seems like a poor management is team's key problem.
At the start of the season Denver was the best team in the league. But now Nikola Jokic and co are not looking so good. Even at home team is losing way too many games.
Clippers are still fighting for a play-off spot. But it is not too easy without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Other players are trying to assume the role of team's leader. Reggie Jackson and Nicolas Batum tried to lead the team, but they can't retain the high level of performance for a long time. Inconsistency is the main problem of the Clippers.
Tyronn Lue's men won their most recent match. Three days ago they recorded an away victory over Indiana (139:133). But before that Clippers were defeated by New Orleans (89:113) and San Antonio (94:101).

Tip and bets
Eight days ago Clippers recorded a home victory Denver (87:85). We are not expecting a high-scoring performance from the Clippers this time. In recent away matches Tyronn Lue's men failed to score more than 100 points.
Our prediction - Clippers: individual total under 102,5 points
Most recent head-to-head matches between these teams were extremely contested. We don't think that something will change this time. Both Denver and Clippers are too inconsistent. We don't think that Mike Malone's men will crush the visitors from Los Angeles.
Our second bet - Handicap (+9,5) points for Clippers
