The Clippers have dominated Denver recently winning 8 out of 10 in the series with an average score of 98.7-91. The Clippers are only 5-5 against the spread in those games however. Also, Denver is in a back to back situation on the road.

That being said, the Nuggets sure looked good in the second half against Dallas. Iverson and Anthony were awesome in the fourth quarter. My heart says Denver + the points, my head says they'll have to play a nearly perfect game to beat a hot, rested Clippers team. It should be interesting.

I like your play again today -- hopefully my Nuggets can come through.

I know this Nuggets team is difficult to rate these days, but I really don't understand this line.

4.5 pts is the typical advantage for a rested home team vs an unrested visitor. This line is mostly LAC -4.5, but is -5 at cris. That would imply these teams are even, or LAC is a 1/2pt better (what cris is saying). Yet, last night Denver closed at +2.5 at home vs. Dallas. If Denver is only 5.5pts worse than Dallas, then they are atleast 2pts better than LAC.

I realize the Nuggets played a tough game late last night, but thats factored into the 4.5.

The nuggets recent history vs. the Clippers doesn't really concern me. Neither one of these teams are the same -- especially not Denver. They never would have won that game last night the last couple of years.

After looking at this match up IMG, I to like the Nuggets tonight.

I like the nuggets with those points as well. They are playing extremely well as of late, and are really pushing for that playoff spot. a win tonight against the clippers would really help their chances, and I think the nuggets win this one straight up

My only concern with Denver here is they are playing for the 4th time in 5nights for the 2nd time in the last two weeks. Last nights game was a late start in Denver and a tough game.

IMGV, The Clippers and Raptors are probably the two hottest teams in the NBA right now... That being said, I think they are laying too many right now... I bought it up to +5.5(-120) and I am gonna take my chances with the Nuggets! They had a poor offensive showing last night and didn't look all that great in their win over the Mavs... But hey, a win over the Mavs is something to get pumped about... Let's hope for a close game here tonight!
