Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the NBA match.
Denver Nuggets
The defeat in the last match against the Rockets should not bother you - the Nuggets are still dangerous and are contenders for the title this season. Only Minnesota managed to somehow stop Jokić, and even then he scored 28 points. There are no other teams with 2 star big men in the league, so Nikola will continue to stamp triple-doubles and lead the club to victories.
Los Angeles Clippers
"Catch them all" - that's exactly how the Clippers traded for Harden at the beginning of November. However, it is unlikely that they expected that a lineup of 4 future Hall of Famers would not only not work but also drag the team to the bottom. And considering how Philadelphia blossomed without the bearded one, it won't be possible to return the goods.
Denver Nuggets - Los Angeles Clippers prediction
If this match had happened two weeks ago, the meeting of these opponents would have been one of the main events of the entire November. However, Harden's arrival in California turned the "Clippers" into one of the worst teams in the championship. Therefore, counting on a competitive match here is not necessary.
It's too early to write off the Clippers, but it will take a lot of time to adjust to new playing combinations. If you lose to Memphis, there can be no talk of victory over Denver. Therefore, I confidently bet on the Nuggets.
