Los Angeles blew a 15-point third-quarter lead and lost to the Nuggets, 111-105, on Friday to prolong the series, which the Clippers lead three games-to-two. Kawhi Leonard scored 36 points, and Paul George added 26, but the Clippers' bench had a bad game in a losing cause. Los Angeles still is 47-36 ATS on the season, and it is 21-6 ATS following an ATS loss and 35-16 ATS after any loss. Also, the Clippers have covered the spread in 13 of their last 19 when playing with one day of rest. Denver has to hope that the Clippers have a second-half collapse again, along with the reserves suffering another bad shooting game. One or both of those things are unlikely to happen, so look for the series to end here. Lay the points with the Clippers.
