Clippers vs. Nuggets Prediction: Game 5 Odds & Expert Picks
When I say the Denver Nuggets revived their NBA playoffs hopes with an eye-popping buzzer-beating dunk by Aaron Gordon to cap Game 4 against the Los Angeles Clippers, that’s what I mean. Seriously, this dunk beat the buzzer by a millisecond, if that.
Tonight at 10 p.m. ET (TNT), the series returns to Ball Arena in Denver, and our Clippers vs. Nuggets prediction expects Los Angeles to break the 2-2 series tie in its favor as part of our NBA picks.
The Clippers enter Game 5 with the Nuggets as 1.5-point betting favorites with moneyline odds around -125. The total is set at 207.5. After impeccable defensive efforts have marked the prior games in this series, our Clippers vs. Nuggets prediction views Game 5 as another matchup that will struggle to reach a high total score.

🏀 Game 5 prediction & best bet
🎯 Score prediction: Clippers 104, Nuggets 101
These scores have been so tight that any read on this slim point spread is hard to come by. The Nuggets are at home for Game 5, but they needed overtime in Game 1 and a buzzer-beater in Game 4 to secure their two wins of the series.
Given no team in this series has won back-to-back games, it seems like it might be Los Angeles’s turn - but for our best bet, we’re leaning into the value we see on the Under.
Each of the first four games of the series has ended with regulation in a point total below 208.5 points, with three of the four games concluding with 200 or fewer total points. Game 1 went Over due to the 26 points scored in overtime.
Although Denver home games trended Over during the season, road games for the Clippers went just 19-23-1 on the Over for the fourth-lowest rate in the league. We’ve also seen line movement in our favor at our best sports betting sites after this total opened at 207.5.
✅ Best bet: Under 208.5 (-110 via BetMGM)
