Denver at Los Angeles

This game is all about purpose and it means far more to the Clippers than it does to Denver. If the Clippers win this game they tie their season franchise record set back in the early nineties with 45 win and inch closer to holding back the Grizzlies for home court advantage. The Nuggets can finish no better than 5th place as they are bound to face either Dallas or San Antonio in the first round regardless of the outcome of this game. On top of all this, George Karl has made it clear that he plans to rest his players before the playoffs as can be evidenced by the shalacking they got at Dallas as Karl looks to improve his bench play. Keep in mind that the Clippers have had success against this team winning by 30+ last tme around in January and winning the last 8/10 of their past meetings. On top of all that, the Clippers are a 5-0 in their last 5 games when they are are favored by 5 or more points and the Nuggets are 3-7 in their last 10 meetings at Los Angeles. Let's ride the home team with more to play for in this game.
