Clippers 111, Nuggets 107

PASS.

There is minimal value on the Clippers (-275) to win in front of their home crowd Thursday to extend this series. Despite falling victim to an incredible outing from Murray Tuesday, the Clippers have won 10 of their last 13 overall.

BET NUGGETS +6.5 (-110).

Three of the 5 games in this series have been decided by 3 points or fewer, while the Nuggets have won the last 2 games, both as underdogs. With a larger spread than expected for what has been a relatively tight series, backing the Nuggets is the best play.

The Clippers are just 4-5 ATS over their last 9 games, including 2-4 ATS as favorites.

BET OVER 212.5 (-105).

The Over has hit just once in this series, but this total is the third-lowest. The Clippers have scored 110 or more points in 3 games this series and in 7 of their last 10 overall and have surrendered 112 or more in 5 of their last 9.

The Nuggets have scored 112 or more points twice in this series and at least 112 in 7 of their last 10. They have allowed 109 or more points in 8 of their last 10 games.
