My Prediction
Denver Nuggets by 5Brace yourselves, folks. Get your popcorn ready because the Denver Nuggets are heading to Los Angeles to face off against the Clippers in game six of the series. Now, if you’ve been under a rock and missed the past games, Denver currently holds the edge, leading the series 3-2.
Let's take a look at the talent on board. For the Nuggets, Nikola Jokić is certainly not the guy you want to overlook. Even under the immense playoff pressure, he's pushing out a delicious 25.4 points per game coupled with 13 rebounds and 11 assists. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon are also proving they're not just there to fill up the roster, with impressive stats to match. Now, obviously, we don't have all our eggs in one basket here.
The Clippers, dressed in their finest armor, are definitely not heading into this battle lightly equipped. Kawhi Leonard is leading the pack with 25.2 points on average per playoff game. Ivica Zubac and James Harden are conjuring up numbers that can't be swept under the rug either.
Now, let's refresh your memories on the past meetups. Most recently, the Nuggets were seen giving a masterclass to the Clippers in their own backyard, finishing with a solid 131-115. The momentum appears to be on Denver's side as they've won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings.
The season records for both teams are tied, but Denver edges out as the higher seed in their conference. Neither team has managed a restful sleep with such a close brawl unfolding. The battle for dominance continues and nobody's punching out early here.
Looking at all these factors, if you’ve been paying attention and doing your math (and thank heavens, that’s what they pay me for), it’s clear where this is headed, and it ain’t into overtime. I'm going to bypass the suspense and give you the goods.
