Nuggets vs. Clippers Prediction and Picks
As mentioned in the Spurs vs. Hornets preview, point differential may decide who makes it to the semifinals.
The Clippers enter tonight’s matchup with a point differential of +9.0, following their wins over the Rockets (95-92), Bucks (106-91), and Lakers (67-58). That is the second-worst point differential among the eight 3-0 or 4-0 teams, with only the Hornets (+8.7) having a lower point differential.
So, the Clippers may need to win comprehensively to move past some of the other semifinal hopefuls.
The Nuggets are one of four winless teams in the Las Vegas Summer League, having dropped games to the Bucks (90-89), Timberwolves (94-83), and Raptors (101-97). Winning isn’t everything in NBA Summer League play, but the outlook is favorable for the Clippers.
More than winning, players are looking to make an impression individually and gel together collectively. For the Clippers, one player looking to make a big impression right now is Jordan Miller.
Miller, who averaged 4.1 points per game in 37 games for the Clippers this past season, was waived by the organization last week but is still getting the opportunity to play in Las Vegas, presenting him with an opportunity to either get re-signed by the Clippers or improve his options for a new opportunity.
Whatever outcome takes place, Miller has helped his cause in Las Vegas. In three games, he has averaged 21.0 PPG and shot 50% from the field, 35.3% from three, and 88.2% from the foul line.
Miller took 18, 13, and 11 shots and shot 17 total free throws in the first three games, and the scoring opportunities should continue to come tonight as he helps the Clippers make a semifinal push.
Nuggets vs. Clippers Prediction: Clippers to win
Nuggets vs. Clippers Picks: 1) Clippers -10 2) Jordan Miller 20+ points (-120 at Bovada)
