Result:
LOSS

Just when the LA Clippers thought they had bridged the gap from the NBA elite teams in the West, they lose perhaps their top two players for an extended period in Blake Griffin, and Chris Paul. Despite the injuries, the Clippers have continued to win, with just a three-point loss separating them from 8-0 in their last eight games. They have held five of their last six opponents to under 100 points, so the defensive effort has sure been there. That's not something you can say about Denver - the worst defensive team in the league. The Nuggets have given up an average of 120.2 points per game in their last nine games, and you simply can not win in this league doing that. Make the play on LA.
