Denver looks to avenge a 119-102 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday, and based on last night's performance by Los Angeles, the Nuggets have a good chance of prevailing. The Clippers clearly missed Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, who were out with injuries, as they lost to their crosstown rivals for the first time in 12 games. The Clippers shot only 43.5 percent against one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and that followed a 90-88 loss to Dallas. Denver lost a tough, 109-108, decision against Atlanta on Friday with Danilo Gallinari leading the Nuggets with 21 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, but the Hawks scored the final nine points of the game. The Clippers are just 3-7 ATS their last 10 home games and 2-6 ATS their last eight games overall. The road team has covered five of the last seven meetings. Play the Nuggets.
