Los Angeles Clippers vs Denver Nuggets Game 5 Pick – 4/29/2025

On April 29, 2025, the LA Clippers will face off against the Denver Nuggets in a pivotal Game 5 in their first-round playoff series in the Western Conference. Scheduled for 10:00 PM ET at Ball Arena, this game promises to be a tightly contested battle, with the series tied 2-2 going into this matchup.

Both teams enter the game with three days of rest, which could play a significant role in their performance. The Clippers have been on a roll, winning 20 of their last 25 games, while the Nuggets have also shown resilience, securing victories in 31 of their last 50 contests. Despite being on the road, the Clippers are slight favorites, with a spread of Clippers -2.0 and a moneyline of -130, giving them an implied win probability of 54%. Conversely, the Nuggets, with a moneyline of +110, have an implied win probability of 46%.

Recent history favors the Nuggets, who edged out the Clippers 101-99 in their last encounter, an upset considering they were 6.5-point underdogs with only a 30% chance of winning that game. This recent victory could provide a psychological edge for Denver as they prepare to defend their home court.

For those looking at player prop markets, Kris Dunn's points and rebounds are drawing attention, with the Over 8.5 Points and Rebounds priced at -135, as sharp bettors seem to believe this line offers value.
