But all four matchups totalled 207 points or fewer in regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This series has been played at a snail&#8217;s pace, with the teams averaging just 91.13 possessions per game. For context, the slowest-paced team during the regular season averaged 96.51 possessions (Orlando Magic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In five head-to-head meetings in Denver this year, unders are 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:113212\">Embed: #113212<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/sports-hub\/basketball\/nba?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=sportsbook_nba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Full NBA betting markets<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/article\/nba-injury-report?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=injury_reports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA injury report<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/news\/stats\/nba\/top-players?utm_source=insights&amp;utm_medium=text_link&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=stats_pages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NBA stats &amp; standings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong>Gordon under 1.5 threes <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>(-186):<\/strong> Gordon had a remarkably efficient season from 3-point range, but this is a tough matchup to excel in. Especially since he&#8217;s not putting up huge numbers volume-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gordon averaged 1.5 makes on 43.6 3PT% during the regular season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>So far in this series, he&#8217;s 5-for-13 (38.5%) from deep, hitting this under in 3 of 4 games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clippers aren&#8217;t giving the Nuggets any room to breathe beyond the arc in this series, which is part of the reason why Gordon hasn&#8217;t taken many 3s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver is attempting just 28.5 threes per game, which is the fewest of all playoff teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gordon has gone under 1.5 threes in six of seven matchups against the Clippers overall this season. The opportunities just don&#8217;t seem to be there for him to have a big night beyond the arc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Harden 8+ assists<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> (-278):<\/strong> Harden is doing his thing as the primary facilitator for the Clippers, and I like his chances of putting up another solid assist total tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coming off an 11-assist effort, Harden has cashed this milestone in 3 of 4 playoff games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He&#8217;s averaging 9.4 assists in eight matchups against Denver on the season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Harden ranks fifth among playoff performers in potential assists per game (14.8), which denotes passes that immediately lead to a shot. I suspect he&#8217;ll continue putting his teammates in position to score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leonard 20+ points (-335):<\/strong> One of the teammates Harden should be particularly inclined to get the ball to is Leonard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a great series for the ex-Toronto Raptor, who&#8217;s averaging 26.5 PPG on 56.2\/47.6\/87.5 shooting splits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leonard has 20-plus points in all four games, building on a stellar finish to the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating back to March 11, Leonard has now cashed this milestone points prop in 19 consecutive games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s fair if you&#8217;d prefer to eschew a -335 parlay leg, but it takes this ticket from +240 to +390. Given how consistent Leonard has been, I&#8217;ll take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nuggets vs. Clippers predictions made at 12:10 p.m. ET 04\/29\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Knotted at two games apiece, the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers meet at Ball Arena on Tuesday for Game 5.
