Denver at Los Angeles

The LA Clippers were bunched at the top of the Western Conference with three other teams including the Denver Nuggets, but their level of play has slipped over the second-half of the season. The Clippers have been a lackluster 13-13 over their last 26 games. The defending champion Denver Nuggets are at the top of the Western Conference, but they are tied with the Timberwolves and just a game up on the Thunder. It will be a dog fight for the coveted top spot among the three teams. The Nuggets have elevated their game over the past six weeks, going 17-4. They are also 7-1 in their last roadies. Denver has owned the Clippers of late, taking 13 of 16 meetings, and that includes a 9-2 mark on the road. Make the play on Denver.
