Game Odds (as of Thursday, April 24th at 1:45 pm ET):
- Moneyline: Clippers -225, Nuggets +185

- Total: Over 212.5 (-110), Under 212.5 (-110)
Expert Analysis:
I'm dodging the side and total bets in this game, but I do anticipate a Clippers victory at home. The spread seems a touch too aggressive, given the strong Nuggets team. However, the key reason for this prediction is diminishing performances from Russell Westbrook, who's heating up from the 3-point line but I expect that to cool down.
My play in this matchup is Norman Powell to score over 16.5 points (-120). Despite struggling in this series with averages of 12.5 points per game, Powell has shown potential for a rebound at home. As a regular-season scoring threat, averaging 21.1 points per game on 48.7% shooting from the floor, 41.3% from three, and 84.6% from the line, Powell is poised to reassert himself in this series, especially when defending against Denver's weaker defenders.
