Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers: Current situation
Games like these are what could make or break a player’s legacy and Nikola Jokic has certainly delivered in his fair share of Game 7s. The Joker is averaging 26 points, 16.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game in 5 Game 7s so far, he is 3-2 SU in those games, however he did lose the last one to Minnesota at home despite dropping 34 points, 19 rebounds and 7 assists.
James Harden is 3-3 SU in 6 Game 7s in his career, we all still remember the meltdown he had in Game 7 against Boston a couple of years back scoring just 9 points to go along with 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Kawhi Leonard is also 3-3 in these games, averaging 21.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Unlike Harden, Kawhi did win his last Game 7 back in 2021 when he was playing Dallas.
Denver Nuggets Stats & Form
Limiting turnovers is something that the Denver Nuggets have to do if they want to get out of Ball Arena as winners on Saturday. They committed 12 of them in Game 5, compared to just 7 by the Clippers and that’s what ultimately decided that game. Nikola Jokic finished well below his season averages, Jamal Murray is the only one who provided him with some help scoring 21 points.
LA Clippers Stats & Form
James harden really left it all out there in Game 6, playing 47 minutes and leading his team in scoring with 28 to go along with his 8 assists. Kawhi Leonard also added 27 while Norman Powell chipped in with 24 in what was his best game of the series so far. Ivica Zubac had only 10 points, but had some crucial defensive stops against Joker, recording 3 blocks total in that Game 6 win.

Betting tip and prediction: Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers (03.05.2024.)
The two greatest words in sports – Game 7. The series between the Nuggets and Clippers has been evenly matched so far, so it’s only right we see one last game in which the team that wins advances to the next round. Home teams have now won 4 of the 6 meetings after back-to-back wins in this series. Historically speaking Game 7s usually favor the team playing in front of the home fans, however in recent years the road team has come out on top 8 times of the last 12 Game 7s. We are not expecting a pretty game to watch, the stakes are so high here that neither team will allow the scoring to get out of control. Apart from Game 5 this has been a relatively low scoring series with both sides focusing on defense to win games. In Thursday’s game we saw Clippers big man Ivica Zubac step up and hold Nikola Jokic to a modest 25 points and just 8 rebounds, while recording 3 blocks of his own. If you are the Joker you will want to make amends after letting your team down with a chance to close this series. Denver was also a bit more passive than usual when it comes to attacking the rim, as a result they had just 9 free throw attempts all night which is well below their season average. If you are a Clippers fan you have to ask yourself do you trust James Harden to deliver in crucial moments like this. He has shrunk in the past when playing in big games, we just aren’t sure the Clippers can put together another big time performance like they did in Game 6. We are backing the 3-time MVP and his Nuggets to advance here.
