With the series shifting to Los Angeles, the dynamic between the two sides has changed dramatically. While the teams were evenly matched in Denver, once on their home court, the Los Angeles Clippers left the Denver Nuggets with little chance, powering to a commanding 117:83 win. Game 4 now takes on added importance as it may decide whether this series remains competitive.
Los Angeles Clippers
Key players for the Los Angeles Clippers have hit their stride. Kawhi Leonard and James Harden continue to trouble the Denver Nuggets’ defence. In Game 3, they scored 21 and 20 points respectively. The Clippers are excelling not only through efficient offence but also via strong defensive discipline. They successfully denied Denver access to the paint and registered eight blocks. As a result, their opponents were held to a low 47.8% shooting percentage in the key.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets find themselves in a difficult position. The Los Angeles Clippers managed to isolate Nikola Jokic from his teammates, cutting off the open looks the Serbian centre usually orchestrates. This forced the rest of the squad to take on more responsibility, but with the paint effectively closed off, they resorted to perimeter shooting. The results were poor: just 26.9% shooting from three-point range. Outside of the trio of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon, no player reached double figures in scoring.
Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Game 3 clearly exposed the gap in quality between these two squads. While the Denver Nuggets may be more competitive on home court, they seem overmatched in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Clippers look set to push the series to 3:1. The expectation is for the hosts to cover the spread in what appears to be a strong position.
