The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are in direct competition for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference and will renew acquaintances on Tuesday. Sharp totals bettors have been tailing the Clippers due to their penchant for going UNDER. L.A. has cashed UNDER bets in eight of its last 11 contests.
Sportsbook opened the Nuggets as 4.5-point home favorites with a total of 232.

- The Clippers are 4-16 SU in their last 20 games on the road against the Nuggets.
- The total has gone UNDER in nine of the Clippers’ last 12 games against the Nuggets.

L.A. is concluding a seven-game road trip in the Mile High City and dropped only two of the first six games in that span. The Clips topped Phoenix 128-117 in the second night of a back-to-back on Friday and continue to play solid basketball without superstar Blake Griffin around.
The Nuggets are hot as well with wins in seven of the last nine but had a four-game home winning streak snapped in a 119-114 setback to Houston on Sunday. The Nugs sent the Rockets to the free-throw line 32 times in Sunday’s setback. Superstar big man Nikola Jokic finished with 21 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists in the loss.
L.A. snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with a 109-104 triumph over Denver on January 17. Denver rarely loses two straight games at home. In the Nuggets’ past 12 in Colorado after losing their most recent home game, they’re 12-0 SU.
