Premium Pick

Los Angeles is in an elimination game, which means it can't afford to again have to make a big comeback as it did in Game 5. The Clippers went on a 17-4 run to cut into a 22-point deficit, but they fell short and lost 131-115. The Clippers have won 14 of 16 home games and they still are 14-6 ATS their past 20 games overall. Four of the past five meetings have gone UNDER and 11 of 13 home games against Denver have stayed UNDER. The Clippers obviously have the motivation edge as the Nuggets know they still have a Game 7 home game if they lose this one. Los Angeles held the Nuggets to an average of just 92.5 points in its two wins in the series and that will be the formula for a Los Angeles win and cover tonight. Take the Clippers and the UNDER.
