Denver - Clippers: how will the meeting of neighbors end?

Denver

The "nuggets" could not get together properly, but the most important thing is that the club stayed in the leading three of the Western Conference. The team is far from being in optimal shape, but it has guaranteed itself a place in the playoffs for a long time.

In the previous meeting, Denver tried to give a fight to the Lakers, though it was not enough (121-124). The last quarter was decisive, rivals went toe-to-toe, but LeBron James and Anthony Davis took their toll. Unfortunately, the Nuggets cannot afford to play to their maximum, because in the infirmary there are Garry Harris, Will Barton and Vlatko Chanchar, plus the performance of Troy Daniels and Jeremy Grant is in question. In short, there are plenty of problems.

Clippers

“Sailboats” did not manage to impose a fight for the first line of the West, “Lakers” and may also lose the second place if they fail two meetings.

Doc Rivers' guys know how to act much better, because with such professionals as Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, they can even claim the championship. The Clippers lost in the last meeting to Brooklyn (120-129), which became a real sensation, because the Nets are far from the optimal lineup.

It is unlikely that such an imposing game is liked by fans, since in those fights where you need to win, their idols lose points. There is a confrontation ahead with a direct competitor, so the Los Angeles club clearly should not screw up again.
