The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are set for a dramatic Game 7 showdown tonight at Ball Arena, with both teams just one win away from advancing to the NBA Playoffs’ next round. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and fans can catch all the action live on TNT
The Nuggets enter as slim 1.5-point favorites, but the series has been a back-and-forth battle with neither side able to seize full control Denver will rely on Nikola Jokic, who is averaging a triple-double this series, but his efficiency at home has dipped, shooting just 4.3% from the field at Ball Arena Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon must step up, especially after the team’s 12 turnovers in Game 6 contributed to their 111-105 loss in Los Angeles
For the Clippers, James Harden’s resurgence and Kawhi Leonard’s consistency have been crucial. Leonard, in particular, has thrived in elimination games, averaging 3. points on 6.9% shooting in his last three must-win appearances The Clippers’ defensive versatility and depth could give them the edge if their stars maintain recent form
Predictions are split: computer models give Denver a slight edge (57% win probability), but many analysts see the Clippers as a strong upset pick, especially on the moneyline Expect a close contest-most projections have the margin at just one or two points
