Denver Nuggets will start as home favorites in tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The latest Clippers vs Nuggets Prediction and NBA Odds also favors Nuggets over the visitors, Clippers.
The Los Angeles Clippers will look to avoid their fourth straight loss when they face the Denver Nuggets tonight. The Clippers have failed to repeat their last year’s performance as their playoff berth still looks in danger with only a few regular-season games to go. They need to regain their strength and bounce back after facing a crushing loss to the Jazz in the last game.
The Denver Nuggets will aim for a home win when they host the Clippers at the Ball Arena. All the players need to step up and give a convincing performance along with Nikola Jokic. The head coach Michael Malone seemed very disappointed after his side’s disheartening loss to the Celtics. He summarized his team’s performance in just a few words:
“Tonight I can’t point to one thing we did well.”
There is some good news for the fans of the Clippers as their star player Paul George was seen in action in the team’s recent Instagram post. George has been sidelined for more than three months now due to an elbow injury. There has been no official update on his comeback yet. The Nuggets will hope for the fitness of Zeke Nnaji for the important game against the Clippers.
