The Denver Nuggets hold a 3–2 series lead over the Los Angeles Clippers in this first-round matchup. After a dominant 131–115 victory in Game 5, the Nuggets aim to close out the series on the road. Despite Nikola Jokić scoring just 13 points, Denver’s supporting cast stepped up, showcasing their depth and resilience.

Key Storylines

Clippers’ Home-Court Advantage

The Clippers return to the Intuit Dome, where they previously secured a 34-point victory in Game 3. With the series on the line, Los Angeles will rely on their home crowd and the leadership of Kawhi Leonard and James Harden to force a Game 7.

Nuggets’ Depth and Momentum

Denver’s bench has been a significant factor, outscoring the Clippers’ reserves in multiple games. The emergence of players like Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon has alleviated pressure on Jokić, allowing the Nuggets to maintain offensive efficiency even when their star center is contained.

Nuggets vs. Clippers Game 6 NBA Prediction:

Take the under. In the last 10 meetings between these two teams, the under is 7-3. The over did cash in Game 5, but I believe the under is the best bet in tonight’s matchup.

Nuggets vs. Clippers Game 6 Betting Prediction: UNDER 212
