Sunday’s nightcap in the NBA sees the Denver Nuggets (10-7, 5-3 away, 7-9-1 ATS) visiting the LA Clippers (12-9, 7-4 home, 14-7 ATS) at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA, at 7:10 pm ET. Though the Clippers have won seven straight home games, the Nuggets enter Sunday night as three-point road favorites.

Nuggets vs Clippers Predictions
- Clippers moneyline (+126) at FanDuel
- Harden over 21.5 points (-125) at DraftKings
Since losing their first four home games in their new arena, the Clippers have rattled off seven straight victories at the Intuit Dome. In their four-game homestand from Nov. 18 to Nov. 24, they rattled off four impressive wins over Golden State (102-99), Orlando (104-93), Sacramento (104-88), and Philadelphia (125-99).
Last time out, LAC fell by a point at Minnesota (93-92) with James Harden scoring a team-high 20 points and Ivica Zubac grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds.
The Nuggets, meanwhile, have been uncharacteristically inconsistent all season. They crushed Utah in their last game on Wednesday (122-103) but haven’t won two in a row since Nov. 8 and 10.
Aaron Gordon (15.4 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 3.1 APG), who hasn’t played since Nov. 4, is doubtful with his lingering calf injury.
