Matchup: Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Clippers
In a Western Conference showdown this Thursday, the reigning champion Denver Nuggets will take on the star studded LA Clippers. Denver will travel to LA for the fourth and final regular season matchup with the Clippers. The series is 2-1 in favor of the Nuggets, who are once again favored to beat LA. The Nuggets clinched their 6th consecutive playoff berth with a win over San Antonio on Tuesday, while the Clippers are in a good spot at No. 4 but all they’ve clinched is a play-in spot. LA will almost certainly reach the postseason, but with so many teams breathing down their neck the Clippers can’t afford to be complacent.

Nuggets vs. Clippers Matchup History
The series began in 1976, back when the LA Clippers were known as the Buffalo Braves. 1984 was the year the LA Clippers were born, and from 1976 to 2024 the organization has played the Denver Nuggets 204 times, including playoffs. This Thursday will mark the 193rd regular season meeting between the Nuggets and the Clippers, a series Denver leads with a 108-84 record (56.3%) over LA. Entering the 2023-24 season, the Nuggets had a 6-game streak over the Clippers, extending the run to 8 games by late November. The streak was then snapped by LA in the next matchup, as the Clippers won their first game against Denver in two years.
Nuggets vs. Clippers Game Predictions
My Nuggets vs Clippers prediction is: Denver beats LA on the road. It’ll go down to the wire, but as the better side the Nuggets have a higher win-probability. The Clippers are back home after a 4-game road trip, and the Nuggets are known to struggle as visitors, yet recent trends suggest otherwise. LA went 2-8 in their last 10 home games, which includes a 5-game losing streak. Conversely, the Nuggets went 7-3 in their last 10 road games, posting wins in 7 of their last 8 as visitors.
Denver has a shot at winning back-to-back Western Conference titles, and with the playoffs looming this is no time to get struck in a rut. Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic won’t let his team falter, and said the Clippers will provide a much needed challenge and a welcome prelude before the intensity of the postseason. LA’s headliners are Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who combine for 46.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 7.1 assists per game, but they also have players like James Harden and Russell Westbrook, two former MVPs lending their skills to the cause. But the Nuggets aren’t intimidated easily, and on Thursday night they’ll will show the Clippers why Denver is the team to beat in the West.
In summary, here are my picks for the Nuggets vs. Clippers matchup:
- Moneyline Pick: Denver Nuggets (odds pending)
- ATS Pick: Denver Nuggets (odds pending)
- O/U Pick: Under (odds pending)
