With home-court advantage and momentum on their side, the Nuggets are well set up to win this game. With the kind of form Nikola Jokic has been in lately, the Clippers will struggle to slow him down. However, the Nuggets have three players who are currently game-time decisions. If they end up missing the match Denver might find themselves short-handed. We predict that the Nuggets will beat the Clippers tomorrow if Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are available.
