The Ball Arena will be packed to the rafters on Saturday night when the Denver Nuggets face the LA Clippers in Game 7 of their NBA Playoff series. The winner of this match between the Nuggets and Clippers will take on the OKC Thunder in the conference semi-final. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Denver Nuggets lost Game 6 in LA 111-105, but they now have the home advantage in the final game and are still in with a shot of reaching the second round of the Playoffs for a third consecutive season. 

Nikola Jokic had another big performance with 25 points, while Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon also made solid contributions. However, Michael Porter Jr provided just five points and needs to step up in Game 7. 

While the Nuggets shot a solid 52% from the field and 11 of 27 from long range, their good work on offence was largely negated by committing 12 turnovers.

Meanwhile, James Harden bounced back from his poor performance in Game 5 with 28 points and eight assists, leading the LA Clippers to a series-levelling victory on Thursday. 

Kawhi Leonard continued his good form, contributing on both ends, while Norman Powell provided excellent support with 24 points and three rebounds in 39 minutes. 

The issue for the Clippers in this series has been inconsistency in their performances, but if Harden and Leonard can maintain their standard from the last match, LA will be hard to beat in this one.
