Los Angeles Clippers
Los Angeles has been in the black recently with a precarious hold on the last Western Conference playoff spot. To illuminate the Clippers have covered four of their last seven games with four of their last five going over the total. NBA metrics show LA ranked seventh for scoring offense but 24th for points allowed. Owing to that is a record of 32-27 straight up, 32-27 against the spread, and 31-27-1 over the total. One game separates the Clippers from Sacramento for the final playoff spot.
Denver Nuggets
Counter to that are the recent woes with Denver. As an example, the Nuggets have covered just three of their last nine games. Three of Denver’s last five games went under the total. Denver ranks 16th in the NBA for scoring offense but seventh for points allowed. As a result, the Nuggets have an overall record of 39-18 straight up, 30-27 vs. the line, and 28-28-1 on totals. Denver still leads the Northwest Division.
Los Angeles has been a solid betting on NBA games value as a road dog. As an example, the Clippers have paid in seven of their last 12 getting points away from home. Seven of their last 10 in that role went under the total. By contrast the Nuggets have been a phenomenal value as a home chalk. Gamblers love the 14 payouts in their last 18 games laying points at Pepsi Center. And nine of Denver’s last 11 in that situation have gone over the total.
Team vs. Team
On the whole Denver holds the sportsbook edge in their series with the Clippers. To show the Nuggets have paid in five of their last eight meetings with Los Angeles. Three of the last five between these teams went over the total. Meanwhile the Pepsi Center has given Denver an even greater advantage with LA. At home the Nuggets have gotten the money in eight of their last 11 against the Clippers. Three of the past five games at Pepsi Center in this matchup have gone over the total.
Matchup to Watch
In this situation home court gives Denver a strong betting on NBA Games matchup advantage. Additionally, center Nikola Jokic is another asset. Consider Jokic’s 20.4 points and 10.6 rebounds per game.
