The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers meet Tuesday in NBA action at the crypto.com Arena. The Denver Nuggets look for a win after winning five of their last seven games. The Los Angeles Clippers need a win after losing nine of their last 13 games.
The Denver Nuggets are averaging 106.1 points on 46.4 percent shooting and allowing 106.1 points on 46.3 percent shooting. Nikola Jokic is averaging 25.8 points and 14.2 rebounds, while Will Barton is averaging 15.1 points and 4.9 rebounds. Aaron Gordon is the third double-digit scorer and Monte Morris is grabbing 2.7 rebounds. The Denver Nuggets are shooting 34.2 percent from beyond the arc and 76.1 percent from the free throw line. The Denver Nuggets are allowing 34 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43 rebounds per game.
The Los Angeles Clippers are averaging 105.1 points on 44.8 percent shooting and allowing 105.8 points on 44.1 percent shooting. Paul George is averaging 24.7 points and 7.1 rebounds, while Reggie Jackson is averaging 16.8 points and 3.9 assists.

The Nuggets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. The Clippers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. The under is 7-2 in Nuggets last 9 overall. The over is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 games following a ATS win. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
It's hard to get a proper feel for the Denver Nuggets given their inconsistent ways, but they have won five of their last seven games and win by an average of 2.8 points in the favorite role. The Los Angeles Clippers are riding the struggle bus without their best players on the floor, and they're losing their last five games by an average of 6.6 points. The Clippers are hard to trust until they get healthy. I have no choice but to lay the bucket here with the Nuggets.
