Clippers vs. Nuggets: Best supporting cast<\/p>\n

For The Hoops crew analyze whether the Clippers or Nuggets have a stronger supporting cast, excluding Kawhi and Jokic.<\/p>\n

The\u00a02025 NBA Playoffs<\/a>\u00a0series between the Denver Nuggets<\/a> and Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> has reached Game 4, which may be an inflection point.<\/p>\n

This best-of-seven series started out very evenly. Game 1<\/a> went to overtime before Denver claimed a 112-110 win, only for the Clippers to even the series with a narrow 105-102 road win in Game 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, with the series moving to California, Los Angeles rolled to a 34-point win in Game 3<\/a>, holding Denver to a meager 83 points. A triple-double from Nikola Jokic<\/a> (23 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists) was about the only good news for the Nuggets, who were overwhelmed as four Clippers starters posted 19 or more points. For Denver to halt Los Angeles’ momentum, a much better performance in all phases is required.<\/p>\n

Nuggets vs. Clippers predictions: Game 4 picks for NBA playoffs first roundSportsbook Wire<\/a>: Clippers 106, Nuggets 104<\/p>\n

Advising a bet against the spread, Corey Scott writes: “Denver\u2019s defense was a concern during the regular season, ranking in the bottom 10 league-wide — but that narrative no longer applies. The Nuggets have held the Clippers to 110 points or fewer in both playoff games and were arguably unlucky in Monday\u2019s 3-point loss as (Kawhi) Leonard shot a scorching 78.9% from the field.”<\/p>\n

ESPN<\/a>: Clippers a solid favorite to win<\/p>\n

ESPN’s “Matchup Predictor,” which is based on internal analytics, gives the Clippers a 60.1% chance of winning Game 4.<\/p>\n
