What to Know

The Los Angeles Clippers haven’t won a game against the Denver Nuggets since Jan. 11 of last year, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Sunday. The Clippers will head out on the road to face off against Denver at 10 p.m. ET at Ball Arena. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Los Angeles now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Los Angeles fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Sacramento Kings this past Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 176-175. Los Angeles’ defeat came about despite a quality game from small forward Kawhi Leonard, who shot 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 44 points.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Denver and the Memphis Grizzlies this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with Denver falling 112-94 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. The Nuggets were down 94-62 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. The top scorer for Denver was center Nikola Jokic (15 points). That makes it ten consecutive games in which Nikola Jokic has had at least 12 rebounds.

Both of these teams will be looking to put their recent losses behind them and walk away with a victory. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
