The Nuggets jumped to a six-point lead in the opening quarter, but the Clippers took a 3-point by the end of the half. They could only extend the lead to four entering the final quarter. The score was either tied or in the 1-3 points range throughout the fourth quarter. Norman Powell made a huge play with a minute and a half left. <\/p><p>He stole the ball and converted a three-pointer to give his team a three-point lead. Nikola Jokic cut the lead to one point. Then Kawhi Leonard made a mid-range pull-up jumper to regain the three-point lead. Then he stole the ball from Jokic, but Harden missed a jumper, giving the Nuggets 11 seconds to tie the game from long-range. <\/p><p>Christian Braun missed the three-pointer and then Nikola Jokic couldn&rsquo;t convert either as the Nuggets missed a golden chance to send the game to overtime yet again.<\/p><p>Leonard was the biggest factor in the game. He made a mind-boggling 15 out of 19 shots from the field. Apart from that, he played elite defense down the stretch. Ivica Zubac posted 16 points on 6\/10 shooting while James Harden had 16 points. The Clippers committed just 11 turnovers compared to 20 in Game 1.<\/p><p>But the story reversed for the Nuggets. They committed 20 turnovers in Game 2, hampering their chances immensely. Apart from that, Jokic went 6\/10 from the free-throw line, below his season tally of 80%. Jamal Murray had a solid 23-point effort. Meanwhile, Michael Porter Jr. recovered from a 3-point night in Game 1 to accumulate 15 points in Game 2. <\/p><p>Russell Westbrook was solid off the bench yet again. But Christian Braun was 2\/7 from the field after a decent 5\/10 night in Game 1. Did it make a huge difference in the end? Perhaps.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Nuggets Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> Jamal Murray | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Christian Braun |<strong> <\/strong><strong>&nbsp;SF<\/strong>: Michael Porter Jr. | <strong>PF: <\/strong>Aaron Gordon<strong> | C: <\/strong>Nikola Jokic<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: PG: <\/strong>Russell Westbrook, <strong>SF: <\/strong>Peyton Watson.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing significant to report<\/p><p><strong>Clippers Expected Starting Lineup<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>PG:<\/strong> James Harden | <strong>SG: <\/strong>Kris Dunn | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Kawhi Leonard | <strong>SF<\/strong>: Norman Powell | <strong>C<\/strong>: Ivica Zubac<\/p><p><strong>Key bench players: SF:<\/strong> Derrick Jones Jr, <strong>PF: <\/strong>Nicolas Batum<strong>, SG: <\/strong>Bogdan Bogdanovic<strong>, PG: <\/strong>Ben Simmons.<\/p><p><strong>Injuries\/Updates: <\/strong>Nothing significant to report<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Total Over\/Under Prediction<\/strong><\/h2><p>The second game accounted for 207 points while the first game produced 212(in Overtime). Thus, the first two games have been in expected terrain. The Nuggets&rsquo; offense has been more inconsistent than the Clippers, which hurt them in Game 2. <\/p><p>But I believe Nikola Jokic is due a 30+ points performance, and the rest of the team also has a spark in them. I was proven wrong in Game 2 as I chose Over for 218.5 points. I believe the score will be over here again despite the playoffs usually going in the &ldquo;under&rdquo; direction.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Total: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>O 214.5 for -110 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Nuggets: Points&nbsp; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><strong>Over 105.5 for +100 at BetMGM<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Player Props Predictions- Projected Top Bets &amp; Odds&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Nikola Jokic to dish over 9.5 assists: <\/strong>Jokic handed 10 assists in Game 2 and 12 assists in Game 1.

I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats.
