The Nuggets have beaten the Clippers twice this season and lost once to them in Los Angeles. The Clippers have won three of their last five games and come into this game with a loss. The Clippers will also not have Kawhi Leonard as he is listed as out for Thursday versus Denver with a knee issue. On the flip side, Murray is listed as questionable for Thursday and may play along side Jokic who will play. This is an important game to both but Denver are on a mission and seem to have be hot stringing up some serious wins in this stretch. The Clippers haven't fared well after they have played two road games going 6-18 ATS in their next game. They are also 1-4 ATS off a road loss of 10 points or more. They haven't done well when they have played a lot of games in a short period of time going 3-14 ATS this season when playing 8 or more games in 14 days. The Clippers are 0-2 ATS this season as home underdogs. The Nuggets haven't been the greatest team in covering the spread this season, despite getting the wins, but are 13-3 ATS after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread this season. The Nuggets are the better team in this matchup versus a Clippers team that have been up and down this season and not as consistent as they should be with their talent, who haven't covered the spread in their last five home games, and in general, are not a good covering team. The Clippers are 3-12 SU as the underdog this season and 16-19 ATS at home.

Denver are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against LA Clippers. Denver are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games against LA Clippers. Denver are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games on the road. LA Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against an opponent in the Western Conference conference. LA Clippers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games at home. LA Clippers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games.

Best bet: lay the points with Denver.
