While the Nuggets may be on the second night of a back-to-back, their 2025 offseason added enough depth to handle such scheduling difficulties. Meanwhile, the Clippers are actively losing depth. Denver has covered the spread in four straight games, while Los Angeles has gone just 1-9 ATS this season. Expect both trends to continue tonight.

The most sluggish tempo team in the league this year has been the Clippers.. The Nuggets have played at the 4th-most lethargic tempo in the league away from their home stadium this year, which ought to lead to fewer possessions for the Clippers.. The LA Clippers check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA playing at home this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce additional opportunities for scoring and assists).
