If you didn’t watch Saturday’s Nuggets-Clippers game, you really missed out.
It looked like the Nuggets had things in hand after three quarters. Then the Clippers stormed back spectacularly, going on a 32-9 run to take their first lead with a minute to play. Nikola Jokic hit a go-ahead shot, Ivica Zubac tied it back up, and finally, Aaron Gordon won the game most ridiculously:
Denver covered the +6.5 spread on DraftKings Sportsbook, with the game going under the 211.5 total.
As usual, Nikola Jokic ($11,500, 82.25 FPTS) was a monster, recording 36 points, 21 boards, and eight assists to boot. His fadeaway shot over Ivica Zubac ($7,900, 48.5 FPTS) seemingly salted the game away before his three-point heave at the buzzer found the hands of Aaron Gordon ($6,000, 33 FPTS) for the unlikeliest game winner these eyes have ever seen. On Tuesday, Jokic will remain a lineup anchor and a monster performer in Game 5.
On the Clippers’ side, it was another good outing for the star tandem of James Harden ($8,900, 44.5 FPTS) and Kawhi Leonard ($8,400, 42.25 FPTS). Leonard recorded 24 points and nine rebounds while The Beard recorded 15/4/11. Norman Powell ($5,600, 31.5 FPTS), perhaps, had the biggest performance of them all, as his clutch shot making dragged Los Angeles back into the game.
The series now goes back to Denver on Tuesday for Game 5. Denver opens as a -1 favorite in that contest on the DraftKings Sportsbook with the game total at 208.5.
