Los Angeles Clippers
Point Spread Pick
LA Clippers -2.5(-115)

Kawhi Leonard is back, but even he couldn’t do much on Monday against Anthony Edwards, who torched the Clippers for 37 points in a 2-point loss. The Clippers now have a chance to bounce back against the shorthanded Nuggets who will be playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. LA leads the regular season series 2-1, as crazy as it might sound they are the healthier team right now. As Kawhi ramps up his minutes and production, this team will only get better. The future is bright for the Clippers at the start of 2025.

The Nuggets had a game to forget last night against the Celtics as they folded at home 118-106. Considering Nikola Jokic was out of the line-up, the team actually put up solid resistance. Whether or not he suits up here is unknown at the moment, Jokic is a game-time decision as he battles a bug that’s been floating around the team lately. At 1-3 SU without him in the line-up, it’s quite obvious in which direction this game will go if he doesn’t play. Denver has scored 106 or less points in 3 of the 4 games without him, with their efficiency plummeting across the board in those games.

With just 1 win in 4 games, the Clippers are hungry for success here. The addition of Leonard will be a big boost defensively, once he gets his feet under him. Having already won once at Ball Arena earlier this season, I feel like LA has a solid chance to wrap up the regular season series tonight. They’re 4-1 ATS/SU in the last 5 meetings and a reliable 22-14 ATS on the season. Take the Clippers on the road.
