Clippers vs Nuggets Best Bet: Clippers ML +108
The Clippers enter this matchup as the underdog on the road in this win-or-go-home situation. Despite that, they’ve already proven once in this series that they are more than capable of stealing a win on the road. Considering the firepower at Tyronn Lue’s disposal, it won’t be a shock to see LA walk into Ball Arena and take down the Nuggets to move on to the next round.
Clippers vs Nuggets Best Total Bet: Over 207
Throughout this series, both teams have shown they have the offense to turn any matchup into a shootout. These two squads have exceeded the 207-point set total three times through the first six games and hit 207 on the number in Game 2. In a big matchup, I expect the stars to be out and leave it all on the line in hopes of keeping their seasons alive. That said, a final score of 117-113 seems realistic.
Clippers Best Player Bet: James Harden 25+ Points +200
James Harden has been the driving force for the Clippers this season, returning to All-Star form, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 assists, and 5.8 rebounds in the regular season. The veteran started the postseason off with a bang, going for 32 points in Game 1, but has since cooled off until a 28-point performance in Game 6 helped LA stay alive. With the stakes at an all-time high on Saturday, I like the odds that the guard can put together another big scoring outing.
Nuggets Best Player Bet: Nikola Jokic 10+ Assists +104
Nikola Jokic needs no introduction when it comes to how impactful he can be on the court. Not only is the Nuggets star center a three-level scorer, but he’s one of, if not the best, facilitators in the game. Jokic finished the regular season averaging 10.2 assists per game, and he carried his playmaking ability into the playoffs, averaging 10.5 assists per game through the first six matchups. With 10+ assists in four of the first six games, I have faith the Serbian star will do it again in this pivotal matchup.
