The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers meet Friday in summer league NBA action at the COX Pavilion. Here’s a Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction. This article will include a Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Clippers Pick.
Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
The Nuggets have loaded their NBA Summer League roster with players who found a lot of success during their college careers. DaRon Holmes II was a standout with the Dayton Flyers, averaging 20.4 points while shooting 54.4 percent from the field. PJ Hall had one of the best careers in the Clemson Tigers history, and he has the skill set that could end up transitioning to the NBA. Hall averaged at least 15 points in each of his last three years at Clemson, and this is a perfect tournament to show his skills. The Nuggets are going to need a balanced attack, especially from the bench, if they are going to want to find success in this tournament.
Los Angeles Clippers Betting Preview
The Clippers only had one draft pick in the second round of the 2024 draft, but there is still some buzz around this summer league tournament team. Cam Christie was taken 45th overall after a strong freshman year with the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Christie averaged 30.2 minutes with Minnesota, putting up 11.3 points per game. Kobe Brown, Moussa Diabaté and Jordan Miller were with the Clippers last year, and hope to have a bigger impact on the team in 2024. EJ Harkless averaged 11.2 points while shooting 42.6 percent from the field.
Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Clippers Prediction
The Nuggets filled their summer league team with players who did plenty of winning in college, and that is going to relate to wins the next few weeks. The Nuggets have the deeper team, and they have filled it up with scorers. The Nuggets’ offense is going to have no issue running up the score, and Denver is going to have no issue cruising to the victory here. Back the Nuggets against the spread.
