Denver Nuggets vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Denver Nuggets looked awful in their season opener, to the point, that Jokic threw his team under the bus and mentioned that his squad lacks shooting. It’s key not to overreact to one game. The Nuggets are still a decent team that may lack depth but isn’t nearly as bad as it showed in their opener. It’s also still tough to win in Denver. The LA Clippers are still without Kawhi, and I’m not convinced Harden can string together above-average performances. I’ll lay the points with the Nuggets.
