NBA Tuesday Preview and Free Pick - Los Angeles Clippers at Denver Nuggets



The Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets clash this Tuesday in the backend of TNT's doubleheader of betting action.

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets clash this Tuesday in the backend of TNT's doubleheader of betting action. Game time from the Pepsi Center is set for 10:30 p.m. and VietBet opened the Nuggets as four-point home favorites with a total set at 229.

The Clippers wrap up this extended seven-game road trip at 4-2 straight-up and 5-1 against the spread in the first six games. Coming off the All-Star break, they posted a pair of wins against Boston and Phoenix around a 134-127 loss to Golden State as 10.5-point underdogs. The total has gone OVER VietBet's closing line in their last three games.

Los Angeles has won six of eight games both SU and ATS in the month of February to remain a game behind Denver for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. After trading its top scorer, Blake Griffin to Detroit a few weeks back, Lou Williams has assumed that role with an average of 23.3 points per game. One of the team's newest acquisitions was guard Avery Bradley, but he will be sidelined for the near future with a hernia.

The current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have risen slightly since the openieng numbers.

Los Angeles Clippers   (+4.5)
Denver Nuggets           (-4.5)

Over 230 points (-110)
Under 230 points (-110)

Denver beat San Antonio before losing to Houston in its first two games coming off the break as part of this brief three-game homestand. It is now 7-2 SU with a 6-3 record this month. The total has gone OVER VietBet's closing line in its last seven contests. The Nuggets are 33-27 SU with a 28-29-3 record ATS. They have gone 24-8 SU (17-14-1 ATS) at home this season.

Guard Will Burton scored a team-high 25 points in Sunday's 119-114 loss to the Rockets. He was one of four starters to end the game in double figures. Both Gary Harris and Nikola Jokic are averaging just over 17 PPG as the teams top two scorers. Harris had just six points in Sunday's loss and Jokic added 21 points in the losing cause. The Nuggets are ranked eighth in the NBA in scoring with 108.2 PPG.

Each of these teams know how to put points on the board. While the lean would be towards Denver SU at home given its record at the Pepsi Center this season, my top pick for Tuesday night is the OVER on VietBet's total line.
