In their last matchup against the Trail Blazers on March 24th, Denver showcased a well-rounded performance with nine blocks, eight steals, and a significant contribution from their bench with 33 points. The team's ability to maintain a lead while also capitalizing on fast break opportunities—scoring 15 fast break points—demonstrates their agility and readiness to exploit any lapse in defense.


The Nuggets' offense has been firing on all cylinders as evidenced by scoring an average of over 114 points in their past three games. Their efficiency game score of nearly 97 against Portland is just one indicator of how effectively they've been converting possessions into points. With an offensive rating that hovers around the impressive mark of over 113, it's clear that Denver has found a rhythm that could pose serious challenges for any opponent.

On defense, they've shown they can be just as dominant. The team managed to grab a total of 60 rebounds in their last game alone, with defensive efforts leading to holding opponents to around one point per possession—a testament to their defensive prowess.


The LA Clippers will certainly not make things easy for Denver though. They have had strong performances throughout the season as well but will need more than just home-court advantage when facing off against this formidable Nuggets squad.
