Denver Nuggets
Melbourne Victory scored a good move closer to the finish line and has not lost four matches in a row, having obtained eight points during this period. Anthony Popovich’s team is 11 points behind the leader and champion and Melbourne is close to the top six of the table, hoping to compete for the title in the playoff round. In the previous meeting in the derby against Melbourne City, a draw (1:1) was obtained in a fairly equal game.
Los Angeles Clippers
Sailboats should be given credit, because even without their key players, the club continues to stay afloat. Recall that for a long time Tyrone Lew cannot count on the injured Kawhi Leonardo and Paul George and this is the main striking force of the team. The Clippers lost three fights in a row, thus giving the Lakers a chance to get closer. The team from Los Angeles lost to Cleveland (111-120), Toronto (100-103) and Utah (92-121). As you can see, things are not going well. The away game against Denver is still ahead, that is, there are enough tests.
Prediction
It is noticeable that the Clippers players are doing everything in their power. Of course, it is difficult to build a game without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, but Tyrone Lew is making every effort, so the team is now eighth in the Western Conference. Two losses in a row clearly angered Denver, which is not ready to sacrifice its place in the playoffs. "Nuggets" are aimed to break the unsuccessful streak, especially since not the strongest opponent comes to visit. In a word, we expect victories from the hosts.
