LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

The Denver Nuggets are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they usually play well. However, the Nuggets have underachieved up to this point, and they’re one of the worst cover teams in the league with an 8-13-1 ATS record. The Clippers continue to be feisty and have the offense to give the Nuggets a run. The Clippers are also a profitable 15-9-1 ATS on the season. This is way too much respect toward the Nuggets. Give me the Clippers and the points.
