703 Clippers (-8.5) over Nuggets
After a pretty comfortable win in Game 1 the Clippers came out flat in Game 2 giving up 40 points in the 1st quarter so I expect them to bounce back and give a better effort from the start of the game. I also expect a much better shooting performance from Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Of the 8 remaining playoff teams the Nuggets are ranked last in defensive rating with a 119. Also have the zig zag theory on my side for the matchup. Since 2002 favorites off a loss that won 60% or more of their regular season games going into the next game where the line falls between -6 to -9 have covered the spread 62.2% of the time.
