He cleared this line in both outings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powell hit a pair of 3s in Games 1 and 2, so it&#8217;s not like he was far off from a clean sweep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m most encouraged by the type of looks Powell&#8217;s getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&#8217;s attempting 3.3 &#8220;wide open&#8221; 3s a night, according to nba.com. That&#8217;s categorized as a shot where the nearest defender is further than six feet away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsurprisingly, having Harden and Leonard stretch the floor is leading to better looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver&#8217;s biggest problem defensively is limiting 3s. Dating back to the regular season, it allows the 10th-most 3s per game (14.1) at the sixth-highest rate (36.6%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Powell averaged career highs in 3s (3.0) and 3-point attempts (7.1) this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game 5 prop prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jokic over 9.5 assists (-106):<\/strong> Just how much can one man do? I feel like we&#8217;re asking that question nearly every time Jokic steps off the basketball court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-time MVP has been unstoppable this postseason, and you could make a good argument to back him on any market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to tap into Jokic&#8217;s elite passing abilities on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jokic was second in APG (10.2) during the regular season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Entering postseason play on April 28, he&#8217;s second in APG (10.8) while playing a league-high 42.3 minutes per night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s also first in potential APG (19.5) this postseason, which nba.com classifies as a pass leading directly to a shot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Jokic has cleared this line in three of four games this series and had eight assists in the outlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Los Angeles allowed the fifth-most assists per game to centres this season, according to Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Clippers vs. Nuggets prop picks made at 4:20 p.m. ET 04\/28\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets head back to altitude on Tuesday with their first-round series tied 2-2.
