The Los Angeles Clippers have taken complete control of this series, but the Nuggets have been competitive in these contests and are coming off their best defensive performance of the series whey held LAC to under 100 points. The Nuggets have the depth and the scoring to hang around in these games and possibly steal another game, it’s just a matter of getting stops and not having that five minute stretch of sloppy play. We’ve also seen the Nuggets come back down 1-3 in the last series. Not saying that happens here, but I want the points with the Nuggets backs against the wall.
