The Denver Nuggets (8-2) face the Los Angeles Clippers (3-7) tonight at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
This is a matchup between two teams moving in opposite directions. The Nuggets have won five straight; the Clippers have dropped five straight. Denver’s offense is humming, led by Nikola Jokic, who’s playing at an MVP level — averaging 26.2 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 11.9 assists on 64.4% shooting. At 30, he might be having his most complete season yet, but this is the standard Jokić has set.
Jamal Murray (22.8 PPG) and Aaron Gordon (19.8 PPG) continue to provide strong scoring support. Denver ranks among the league’s best in rebounding, ball movement, and limiting turnovers. Their defense is elite as well — second best in the NBA.
Tonight is the second half of a back-to-back for the Nuggets, who dominated the Sacramento Kings 122–108 last night.
The Clippers, meanwhile, are sliding. Their offense has been sluggish, ranking fifth-worst at 118.3 points allowed per game, and the absence of Kawhi Leonard only deepens their struggles.
James Harden poured in 35 points in Monday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks, but the team mustered just 102 overall. Bradley Beal’s season-ending injury was a blow, but the loss of Norman Powell — now thriving with Miami’s top-ranked offense — has left a significant scoring void.
Prediction
Denver’s depth, ball movement, and elite defensive efficiency give them a clear edge over a Clippers team struggling to generate consistent offense without Leonard. Even on the second night of a back-to-back, the Nuggets’ cohesion and firepower should carry them comfortably.
Prediction: Nuggets 119, Clippers 107
