- The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets will play Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The Clippers currently lead the series 2-1.
The Denver Nuggets won Game 1 in overtime with a final score of 112-110 thanks to Nikola Jokic who delivered 29 points together with 12 rebounds and 9 assists. Aaron Gordon scored 25 points and grabbed 8 rebounds while Jamal Murray added 21 points to the team's effort. James Harden scored 32 points to lead the Clippers while Ivica Zubac contributed 21 points and 13 rebounds.
The Clippers leveled the series to 1-1 after their 105-102 victory in Game 2. Kawhi Leonard scored 39 points shooting 15-of-19 while Nikola Joki? achieved 26 points and a triple-double of 12 rebounds and 10 assists for Denver.
The Clippers secured a commanding 117-83 win in Game 3 to move ahead in the series with a 2-1 lead. Leonard finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds while Harden and Norman Powell each scored 20 points and Zubac provided 19 points and 9 rebounds. Jokic achieved a triple-double performance with 23 points and 13 rebounds and assists but Denver faced overall team challenges.
Denver faces multiple injury concerns. Michael Porter Jr. remains questionable for Game 4 because of a left shoulder sprain while he states his performance level is between 20-30%. Russell Westbrook faces uncertainty in Game 4 because of left foot inflammation. DaRon Holmes II continues to be sidelined because of his right Achilles tendon repair.
The Nuggets have an uphill battle here tonight on the Clippers home court. Plus they are dealing with numerous injured players. Still, I believe this line is way over compensated by the oddsmaker. I can't pass on this many points.
