LA Clippers versus Denver Nuggets has been nothing short of a spectacular NBA playoff series. Tied at 2-2, both sides will head into Game 6 on Thursday looking to seal their progress to the next round without necessarily playing Game 7. As it stands, the Nuggets have the upper hand after winning 99-109 at Intuit Dome on Saturday. This result means the Nuggets can take control of the series with a tiebreaker win on Wednesday at home before a high-stakes Game 6. 

Aaron Gordon produced a buzzer-beating dunk in a thrilling Game 4 matchup to seal the Nuggets' win and ensure this series will continue until at least Game 6. Gordon swarmed the glass before slamming down Jokic’s airball to set up a cagey Game 5 meeting. According to the NBA, this is the first game-winning buzzer-beating dunk since the start of the play-by-play era in the 1997-98 season. It’s going to be an exciting best-of-three dogfight.

Our LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

As we’ve witnessed most of the time in this series, Game 6 will likely be decided by fine margins and individual heroics. The Clippers will want to maximize their only remaining home game and set up a frantic finish in Game 7. 

However, they must do better to keep Jokic in check, with the three-time MVP bagging 36 points and 21 rebounds in Game 4. The Joker occasionally produced his signature double-spin move and was simply flawless on Saturday night. It will be an intense Game 6, especially if Denver wins Game 5 at home. Still, we expect the Clippers to do the job here.
