Offensively, the Clippers rank 26th in points per game with 111.9. They have a strong field goal percentage of 47.8, ranking 7th in the league. Despite this, their rebounds per game are the lowest, standing at 40.6.

PPH Betting Prediction
The Denver Nuggets are playing strong this season, especially on offense. They lead the league in points per game with 120.4. Their shooting accuracy is high, with a field goal percentage of 49.5 and a three-point percentage of 39.5. These stats give them an edge against many teams.
The Los Angeles Clippers, on the other hand, are struggling offensively. They rank 26th in points per game, scoring only 111.9. Their low number of possessions per game, at 95.6, is a factor. This might not be enough to keep up with the Nuggets’ scoring.
Defensively, the Nuggets allow 116.3 points per game, which is not as strong. However, the Clippers only manage to score 111.9 points per game. This suggests the Nuggets can outscore them and cover the spread. With the Nuggets favored to win, taking them at -4.5 is a reasonable pick.
