Nuggets at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Clippers 113, Nuggets 110

Moneyline

The Nuggets have won 8 straight games against the Clippers including their 2 matchups so far this season, once in L.A. and once in Denver. However, they are 5-7 on the road this season and have lost 5 of their last 7 road games.

The Clippers are 6-3 at home but have gone 2-2 in their last 4 home games.

BET CLIPPERS (-115).

Against the spread

Neither team has been a reliable ATS win. The Nuggets are 8-13 ATS and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games, while the Clippers are 7-12 ATS and 4-6 ATS over their last 10.

But with only a 1.5-point spread and the odds essentially the same (-120 vs. +100), you might as well stick with the moneyline if you like the Clippers, as it avoids losing a bet because of a 1-point win.

Conversely, if you like the Nuggets, you might as well bet the spread to give you the extra point in that same scenario.

PASS.

Over/Under

Neither meeting between the 2 teams this season reached Wednesday's projected total. But that is the only game of the Nuggets' last 5 that did not reach 226 total points. Only 2 of the Clippers' last 10 have had totals higher than 225.

BET UNDER 226.5 (-105).
