Western Conference contenders collide at 10:00 PM US EST on April 4 as the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets meet for the fourth and last time in the regular season.
The total for this Clippers-Nuggets game is set at over/under 221.5 points, which sports bettors might find intriguing since the bet on UNDER profits in 8 of the last 9 games between these two teams.
The Denver Nuggets:
The Nuggets are 7-3 in their last 10 games, though they haven’t fared well against postseason contenders in this stretch, losing to the Suns, Mavs, and Minnesota. Nikola Jokic continues to make his case for his third regular-season MVP, leading his team in points (26.4), rebounds (12.3), and assists (9.0). Denver is in a three-way battle with the Wolves and the Thunder for the No.1 seed in the West playoffs, so every game is a must-win for them.
The Los Angeles Clippers:
Speaking of must-win, the Clippers need to start playing consistent basketball if they want to solidify their hold on the No.4 spot in the West. The LA Clippers split their last 10 games and are two games ahead of the Dallas Mavericks. Moreover, Kawhi Leonard won’t be available vs. the Nuggets because of a nagging knee injury. Leonard is averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists this season.

Our LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
The Nuggets' three encounters with the Clippers this season averaged 216 points per game, which is 5 points less than the total set for this game. However, the UNDER bet has paid off in eight of the last nine games between these two clubs. Kawhi Leonard's absence from the game may also sway some gamblers to choose UNDER because it is difficult to replace the productivity of a 20-plus scorer.
Our betting pick for Clippers vs. Nuggets: Take UNDER 221 Points (-192) at BetMGM.
Prediction:
Under 221.5 Points
