Both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets are looking to win their first game of the season as they face off against one another in the Mile-High City on Saturday afternoon. The Clippers are coming off a defeat to the Suns by a score of 116-113 in overtime, while the Nuggets were defeated by the Thunder by a score of 102-87. Despite the fact that Denver has a 108-85 advantage in the regular season series, the Clippers won the last two of the four matches that took place between the two teams during the previous season.
While James Harden and Ivica Zubac turned in outstanding games for the Clippers in their game against the Suns, the team struggled with turnovers and the effectiveness of its bench players. Because of their ailments, Kawhi Leonard and Mo Bamba are still unable to play. Denver, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back after a dismal first game in which they struggled particularly offensively. Despite the fact that Nikola Jokic had a triple-double, the Nuggets were unable to win due to lackluster shooting and turnovers.
The total above 218.5 points is the best option, taking into consideration the talents of both sides as well as the high-scoring style of their prior fights against one another. You should anticipate a game that is both exciting and competitive, with lots of chances to score.
