The Nuggets have been beaten down by travel with this being their 9th road game in 11 games after they just hosted Utah before having to go back on the road for tonight's game against Denver and then back home to play the Miami Heat at home. Blake Griffin even admitted stating, "You can visibly see that guys are fatigued, especially in that GS game." Well now they have to go on the road with a look ahead game against the Heat up next. Playing at Denver is not easy with the altitude change and Denver will be on an extra day of rest for this game and they will also be getting Ty Lawson back at point guard.
The home team has taken the last 4 in the serious and I think there is a serious edge with Lawson coming back and Chris Paul still being out. The Nuggets did not lose twice in a row at home last season all year and here they are facing a situation where they could lose 3 in a row. I just don't see it happen and when you parlay the situation the Clippers are in I just don't expect that you'll see their best tonight with the Heat on deck. Denver is actually 35-16-1 ATS in their last 52 home games vs. a team with a winning record and have an extra day of rest which should pay huge dividends.
