Clippers look to stop November swoon against struggling Nuggets

Nuggets need home win

Los Angeles face a Nuggets squad also looking to break out of a three-game losing slide.

Denver were the Warriors’ most recent victim, falling to the defending champs by a 118-105 score, recording a push as a 13-point underdog.

The Nuggets have performed well when pegged as big underdogs, going 5-2-1 ATS in eight games as underdogs of six or more points. They have struggled in recent meetings with the Clippers, losing four of their last five SU, but are 3-1 ATS in their last four, with the point total playing UNDER in each of those contests.

Warriors chase record victory

Golden State will vie for a record-setting 16th straight win to start the season on Tuesday night, when they host rivals Los Angeles Lakers as huge 16.5-point favourites.

The Dubs cracked the 110-point mark for the 10th time this season in their win over Denver, led by reigning MVP Stephen Curry, who leads the NBA in points per game, with 32.7, and has already tallied an eye-popping 74 three-pointers through the club’s first 15 contests.

Conversely, it has been a rough start for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, SU winners in just two of their first 13, and currently riding a three-game SU and ATS losing streak.

Lakers star lacking support

Bryant has averaged 16.3 points per game, but has had little help from a Lakers team that has scored 100 or more points just once in their last eight.

Los Angeles have had no luck on the road, winning just four of their last 31, while their current five-game losing streak in visits to the Bay Area suggests that history will be in the making on Tuesday night.

Following their meeting with the Lakers, the Warriors play eight of their next nine on the road, starting with a visit to Phoenix to face the Suns on Friday. LA Lakers, meanwhile, continue their stretch of 10 games of their next 11 on the road, visit the Trail Blazers on Saturday night.
