Expert tips and predictions for Friday’s Clippers vs. Nuggets game

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) grabbed the Clippers and 6.5 points:
“The market is giving the Nuggets far too much respect here, and while the rest may be exactly what they needed to finally find their footing, the Clippers’ defense is real and will be a tough test.” The fair price is behind my numbers at LAC +4.5.”
