Over their last three games, the Denver Nuggets have experienced a mixed bag of outcomes. They secured a win against the San Antonio Spurs but suffered losses to both the Spurs once more and the Boston Celtics. Denver's offensive strength is highlighted by Nikola Jokić's impressive average of 31.52 points per game, supported by Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray with offensive ratings of 122.9 and 111.3, respectively. Defensively, while Jokić holds a solid 111.5 rating, the team's overall defense has room for improvement. The Los Angeles Clippers have also had an inconsistent stretch, with a notable win against the Atlanta Hawks but losses to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder. The Clippers' offense is driven by Norman Powell, who averages 23.52 points per game, and James Harden, contributing 21.56 points. Ivica Zubac emerges as a defensive anchor with a 107.3 defensive rating, but the team must shore up its defensive cohesion to match Denver's offensive firepower.
