Prediction
Clippers 118, Nuggets 108
Moneyline (ML)
The CLIPPERS (-385) are big moneyline favorites over the Nuggets (+290) in Game 6. After blowing a 16-point second-half lead in Game 5, the Clippers are looking to close out the series without going to a Game 7.
Los Angeles is just a more talented team and should play with a sense of urgency in this contest. Don’t expect this game to be particularly close and take the CLIPPERS’ (-385) moneyline.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS -8.5 (-110) are monster favorites in this contest and it’s not hard to see why. Their three wins in this series have been by a total of 40 points and their two losses have been under double-digits.
If the trend continues, a win by Los Angeles will likely be by double-digits, allowing the Clippers to cover the spread.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this critical Game 6 is set at 215.5 points. Over the last three games, the Over has hit twice. Expect both sides to come out firing in this contest with the OVER 215.5 (-110) hitting with relative ease.
