Nuggets vs Clippers Betting Preview for NBA Playoffs Game 4
I’m fairly confident in the Clippers to win this series in in six games (+160,DraftKings). However, I lean heavily towards Denver in Game 4 tonight, after loving Los Angeles in the previous game.
The Nuggets aren't getting out of this series. They are not the better team, they are not the better defense, and the Clippers’ defense has dragged their better unit down to their level.
But Denver is likely to even this series based on the flow of the first three games. If the Nuggets don’t win Game 4, they likely force the Clippers to clinch at home.
The Nuggets are 7-1 SU and 8-0 ATS after losing back-to-back playoff games with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic at the helm.
Denver played a terrible Game 3, and the best possible outcome for them in Game 4 likely isn’t a huge win, but it’s within range of a win.
Nikola Jokic can shoot with more confidence, Kawhi Leonard has had one brilliant game and two relatively pedestrian games, and the Clippers took more threes than they normally do in their latest outing.
Nuggets vs Clippers Game 4 Betting Predictions
Nuggets +6.5 (-110) / Nuggets Moneyline (+220)
All of this reeks of a bounce-back game for Denver to even the series. Again, I don’t think the Nuggets are going to win the series, but I don’t think they’re going out in five, either.
Kris Dunn Under 7.5 Points (-120)
The Nuggets are leaving Kris Dunn open, and if they are going to even the series, they need role players to underperform. Dunn doesn’t get easy looks and isn’t a great shooter. Role players shoot better at home, but they all shot well in Game 3 a few days ago.
