Nuggets +1 (-110 DraftKings)
Denver has been dominant in their last three contests, scoring 123 points per game, with a league-high 60.6% effective field goal percentage and 42.3% from the three. Meanwhile, the Clippers’ effective field goal percentage is at 48.2% over their last three games (second-worst) and they’re averaging just 112 points per tilt in that time frame.
The Nugs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games and should continue to produce tonight against a Clippers team that is most likely without Paul George. Take Denver to cover and possibly sprinkle a little on the moneyline.
