The LA Clippers are prepared for another Monday showdown with the Denver Nuggets in Game 2. Denver looks to secure another win in this matchup to increase their lead to 2-0 before heading on the road for Game 3. However, the Clippers proved in Saturday’s matchup that they can knock off the Nuggets, as they were a late-comeback away from stealing homecourt advantage.
Nonetheless, here’s a look at a same game parlay that could place you on the winning side of this playoff showdown.

Please be aware that betting odds may change after the publication of this article.
Clippers -1.5 -110
- The Clippers nearly escaped Game 1 with a 1-0 lead before a fourth-quarter comeback allowed the Nuggets to extend the game to overtime, where they took the win 112-110.
- Despite losing, the Clippers have more than enough firepower to compete in this series, and their entry as the betting favorites proves that.
- LA has one of the deepest rosters, and Tyronn Lue has proven to be one of the best head coaches in the league when it comes to making adjustments. Assuming the Clippers come out aggressive, I like the odds that this series heads back to the West Coast knotted at 1-1 behind a win by more than two points.

James Harden to Score 25+ Points +114
- James Harden returned to his All-Star self this season for the Clippers, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds.
- Like seasons past, the star guard tends to elevate his play in the postseason, proving that in Game 1 with a 32-point, 11-assist, and 6-rebound performance.
- Regardless of how the Nuggets defend him, Harden is crafty enough to get to his spot on offense and draw fouls when the defense gets too aggressive. Given his success in Game 1 and the fact that he’s scored 25+ points in three of his last four games, I like the chances the Arizona State product delivers in this matchup.
Nikola Jokic to Record a Triple Double +125
- Nikola Jokic has been named a finalist for the Most Valuable Player award this season after averaging 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 10.2 assists.
- The big man finished the regular season averaging a triple-double, which alone is an impressive achievement.
- Jokic followed his strong regular-season play with a big-time performance in Game 1 with 29 points, 12 assists, and nine rebounds.
- Although the Serbian star was one rebound short of a triple-double in Saturday’s matchup, there’s no doubt he will get near a triple-double in nearly every matchup, especially in a first-round series where he’ll be asked to play extended minutes.
- I like the odds that the Joker puts together another monster performance on Monday that ends in a triple-double.
