Clipper vs. Nuggets predictions
Winners and Whiners: Take Nuggets over Clippers
Staff writes: “Denver's defense has also been excellent this season and they should be looking forward to defending a Clippers team that looks disjointed right now. The Clippers have also been sloppy with the basketball and that should also feed into the Nuggets' offense. The most disheartening thing for the Clippers thus far has been their feeble record despite having one of the easiest schedules to start the season, ranking 28th in the league. Go with the Nuggets who will have more possessions, ranking 6th in turnovers, and knock down more shots with the league's top field goal percentage.”
Bleacher Nation: Pick the Nuggets to cover
Staff writes, “The Nuggets have five wins against the spread in 10 games this year. The Nuggets have covered the spread twice this season when favored by 6 points or more (in four chances).”
