Game Preview
The Clippers were on the brink of a 22-point comeback, but instead of going to the overtime, they lost. Ivica Zubac defended Jokic well, but Aaron Gordon flew from nowhere to seal the deal for the Nuggets.
Kawhi Leonard scored 24 points with nine boards, while Norman Powell added 22. James Harden had 15 and 11 assists, and it seems that Christian Braun’s tough defense and provocations did their part in slowing down the Beard.
Aaron Gordon ended the night with 14 buckets, six boards and five assists. He was 43 minutes on the floor. Meanwhile, Jokic was unstoppable, scoring 36 points and grabbing 21 rebounds with eight assists. The Joker was all over the place.

The Nuggets’ guards, Braun and Jamal Murray have been terrible from deep, hitting only two threes in 12 shots combined. Also, the bench scored just 4 points, and that’s terrible.
Clippers vs. Nuggets Head to Head
The series are tied at 2-2. Both teams managed to win one game on the road.
Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 5 Predictions
The pace of the games in Denver is faster than in LA, and the Over/Under line set at 207.5 points seems low for us. We have to go over here, even though it’s a bit risky.
