T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets.

I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the LA Clippers in this game on Sunday. The Nuggets have lost 2 games in a row and they haven't looked great in those games either but I think this is a great spot for them to break that bad run and get a must needed win here. The Nuggets have a losing record this year while the Clippers have a record 2 games in the positive but the Clippers aren't going to be at full strength for this game and I think that the Nuggets can take advantage of that. Nikola Jokic is going to play and he is the backbone of their team, leading them to victory by himself on some nights. The Nuggets are also getting a few other starters back for this game so their lineup should have an extra boost in it here. The Clippers haven't looked that great in their games lately either. They won their most recent game but they had lost 3 games in a row right before that win. They beat the Kings by 16 in their most recent game but that win came at a very high cost. Paul George was injured in that game and he won't be back until January and without him in the lineup here, I don't think the Clippers have enough firepower to win this game. George out of the lineup is going to be a huge blow to them and they were already not playing their best coming into this game. I think the Nuggets can take advantage of them here so I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 107-96 Nuggets.
