Key Storylines
Clippers’ Momentum
Balanced Scoring: In Game 3, the Clippers showcased a well-rounded offensive effort. Kawhi Leonard contributed 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Norman Powell added 20 points. Ivica Zubac also made a significant impact with 20 points and 9 rebounds. James Harden chipped in with 19 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds, and Nicolas Batum provided 12 points off the bench.
Defensive Dominance: The Clippers’ defense was stifling, limiting the Nuggets to just 83 points. Their ability to control the game on both ends of the floor has been a key factor in their success.
Nuggets’ Response
Jokic’s Triple-Double: Nikola Jokic continued his stellar postseason play with a triple-double in Game 3, recording 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists. However, his efforts were not enough to overcome the Clippers’ offensive onslaught.
Supporting Cast: Jamal Murray added 23 points, but the Nuggets’ offense struggled to find consistency. Michael Porter Jr. contributed 15 points and 15 rebounds, showing signs of improvement after a quiet Game 1.
Coaching Adjustments: Interim head coach David Adelman will need to make strategic adjustments to counter the Clippers’ aggressive play and find ways to exploit potential mismatches.

I like the under, which is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams. That includes a streak of three straight unders. The under has also cashed in six out of the Nuggets’ last 10 games overall and is 6-4 in the Clippers’ last 10 games as well.
Nuggets vs. Clippers Game 4 Betting Prediction: UNDER 212.5
