Where to Watch: TNT

The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets are set to face off in a decisive Game 7 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 4:30 PM PDT at Ball Arena in Denver. The series is tied 3-3, following the Clippers' 111-105 victory in Game 6, where James Harden led with 28 points and eight assists, and Kawhi Leonard contributed 27 points and 10 rebounds.

Throughout the series, both teams have displayed resilience and competitiveness. The Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray, have shown offensive prowess, shooting nearly 52% overall and 40% from beyond the arc in Game 6. However, turnovers and defensive lapses have been areas of concern. As the series concludes, the winner will advance to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder in the next round.

Check out Brad’s BEST PICKS, including his $19 PICK OF THE DAY!

Kawhi Leonard Over 7.5 Rebounds

Kawhi Leonard is averaging 5.8 rebounds per game. This included approximately 1.0 offensive rebounds and 4.8 defensive rebounds per game. So far this postseason, Leonard has elevated his performance, averaging 8.0 rebounds per game over the first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. Notably, in Game 6 on May 1, he secured 10 rebounds, including 4 offensive boards. He’s secured 9+ boards in the last 4 games of this series. I don’t see him slowing down on the boards in a win-or-go-home game. 

James Harden Under 20.5 Points

Harden is averaging 22.8 points per game, ranking 20th in the league. His scoring was complemented by 8.7 assists (5th in the NBA) and 5.8 rebounds per game, underscoring his continued role as a premier playmaker and versatile contributor. With that being said, Harden’s scoring has declined in this playoff series. He’s coming off a solid 28-point game in game 6, but failed to score over 20 points in the 4 games before that. He’s specifically been quiet scoring the ball when playing in Denver. I expect him to come back down to earth in this one. 

Nikola Jokic Over 9.5 Assists

Jokic is averaging 10.2 assists per game, ranking second in the league. This achievement contributed to him becoming the first center—and only the third player in NBA history—to average a triple-double over an entire season, with additional averages of 29.6 points and 12.7 rebounds per game. Jokic has recorded 10+ assists in 4 of the 6 games in this series. Jokic should get an extended number of minutes, given that this is a game 7, and he garners so much attention from defenders that it gives his teammates quality looks.
