Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets

NBA Regular Season

LAC VS DEN MATCH PREVIEW:

Los Angeles Clippers host Denver Nuggets in NBA action on Wednesday (IST) at Staples Center, in Downtown Los Angeles.

Clippers (42-37) slipped down to 10th in Western Conference after losing three times in the last four games in NBA. Their misery was compounded after Denver Nuggets won their last four and moved above them to 9th and just one game worse off than Minnesota Timberwolves who occupy the last NBA playoff spot in the Western Conference.

However, not all is doom and gloom for Clippers as they still have a chance of making into the all-important playoffs. But their destiny is not in their hands as not only they need to win all their matches but hope that the teams aiming for a place in the top-8 lose all their three matches, an improbable looking scenario.

Having said that, it’s the pride that Clippers can target for the next three games. They have a very good home record this season and they would be aiming to hold on to that when Nuggets visit the town. The Clippers have played a total of 38 games at Staples Center in the 2017-18 season and won 22.

Denver Nuggets (44-35), on the other hand, are 9th in the Western Conference and have more than decent chances of making it into the playoffs. They need a win in this game more than the hosts. The form suggests that the visitors have the potential to achieve this target in this match. In the last seven games in the last two weeks, Nuggets have played seven games and won five times.

Form of the Team-

Los Angeles Clippers–

Clippers have hit a purple patch in the last couple of weeks. They have lost three of their last four games and that has all but dashed their hopes of making into the NBA playoffs 2018. Only three games are remaining in the regular season, and considering the gap between them and the last placed Minnesota Timberwolves is three game, it’s fair to assume that Clippers are done and dusted for this season. As a team, Clippers are averaging 109.1 points this season, while their three-point accuracy stands at 35.6 percent this season.

Denver Nuggets-

Just about in time as they say- Denver Nuggets are on a four-game winning streak heading into this match. This incredible run have brought them back into the contention for the NBA playoffs. With just one game separating them and San Antonio Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves, who all have won 45 games up until now, a win for them and a defeat for either of those teams will take them into the top-8 in the Western Conference. So this is really a massive, massive game for Nuggets and their ambitions for this season.

As a team, Nuggets are averaging 109.7 points this season, against 108.5 points. While they are shooting at 47 percent against 48 percent that the opposition are managing against at them. They have won six of their last eight games and will be aiming for their fifth straight win against their hosts in this match.
