The next match of the regular NBA championship will be marked by a very interesting match. In the face-to-face confrontation, the players of Denver and LA Clippers will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this meeting? LiveResult.Ru gives a forecast for this match.
Denver Nuggets
The Nuggets continue to actively fight for a place in the playoffs, and now the team is on the sixth line in the Western Conference. And this is despite the fact that in the last match, the Nuggets lost to Utah with a crushing score (102:125). Before the start of the season, Denver was expected to be one of the leaders of the West, but nothing like that happened. At the beginning of the season, the Nuggets were the best home team in the league, but little by little Jokic and company began to give up their positions and suffer defeat after defeat.
LA Clippers
The Clippers continue to actively fight to get into the playoffs, but it will be extremely difficult to do this without Leonard and George. In some meetings, the function of the leader is taken over by other players, but such tactics rarely lead to success. The LA team held its last meeting three days ago. Then the Clippers managed to win over Indiana with a score of 139:133. Before that, the Clippers lost to New Orleans and San Antonio.
Statistics and figures:
- Denver is the favorite of the meeting;
- Nuggets have 3 wins in 5 games;
- Clippers have 3 wins in 5 games;
- The last face-to-face meeting ended in favor of LA with a score of 87:85;
- The Clippers have won only 2 of the 5 previous meetings with the opponent.
Forecast
The Clippers must keep a head start in this confrontation. The team from Los Angeles, although it does not look the best in recent matches, but will not allow itself to concede with an indecent score on the scoreboard.
