The Los Angeles Clippers will try to even their Western Conference first-round series with the Denver Nuggets at 1-1 in Game 2 on Monday at Ball Arena.
The Clippers were a ball possession away from stealing Game 1 from the Nuggets in Saturday’s 110-112 overtime loss. James Harden showed off his vintage porn, recording 32 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds in 43 minutes of play. Harden’s co-star Kawhi Leonard pumped in 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting while the ever-reliable big man Ivica Zubac chalked up 21 points and 13 boards. The Clippers shot 50 percent from the field but the turned the ball over 20 times, including a costly error from an inbound play in the winding seconds of regulation time.
An unsung hero stepped up to the plate to save the Nuggets from the fangs of defeat Saturday. Russell Westbrook recorded 15 points off the bench and drained a crucial triple late to help the Nuggets send the game into overtime. Nikola Jokic delivered MVP numbers with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assist. Jamal Murray also posted 21 points, 9 rebound and 7 assists, while Aaron Gordon chipped in 25 points in the Game 1 win.

Our Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Kawhi Leonard and James Harden connived to power the Clippers past the Nuggets in another tight battle in Game 2.
BetMGM listed the Clippers a -118 favorite to win Game 2. I wouldn’t blame them for booking the Clippers that way following a Game 1 loss. Los Angeles controlled the lead for most of the games until the Nuggets staged a furious rally in the fourth quarter. Despite attempting only 15 shots, Kawhi Leonard finished with 21 points in Game 1. Head coach Tyronne Lue will draw up a play or two for Leonard to get him more engaged offensively. Defensively, the Clippers did a terrific job limiting the Nuggets to 43 percent field goal shooting. And while Jokic, Murray and Gordon still delivered huge numbers in Game 1, the Clippers managed to scheme key contributors Michael Porter Jr and Christian Braun out of play. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets: Clippers will cover -1.5 points.
