Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers head-to-head record
The Nuggets and the Clippers are expected to engage in another fiercely contested game, based on their last five head-to-head meetings. Denver has demonstrated their propensity to win close games by winning three of their last five matchups, including a close victory of 101-99 on the 27th of April 2025, and a victory of 112-110 on the 20th of April. However, as evidenced by the 117-83 thumping victory on the 25th of April, the Clippers have shown they are capable of controlling when they settle into a groove. The fact that three of their last five games were decided by seven points or less indicates that a close finish is probably in the cards. The Clippers' firepower, headed by James Harden and Kawhi Leonard, makes them a major threat if they can control the tempo early. However, the Nuggets may have a tiny advantage due to Denver's better overall record in these games and Nikola Jokic's outstanding performance.
