Has anyone seen Jamal Murray? There’s a search party out for the star point guard after he made only one field goal in the overtime loss to the Kings. I expect a bounceback today. And if the Nuggets consistently get 20-plus points from Michael Porter Jr, they are going to be tough to beat any night. Take Denver on the money line.
The Clippers showed in their opener that they plan to move the ball more and play less isolation this season. They got almost nothing from one of their big offseason acquisitions, Luke Kennard (4 points, 0 for 3 on 3-pointers) and still put up 116 against the Lakers. They're facing a worse defensive team in Denver. The Nuggets' Jamal Murray went 1 for 9 in the opener, 0 for 5 from deep. He'll do much more and help this one get Over.
Jamal Murray isn't going to go 1 for 9 Friday like he did in the season-opening overtime loss to Sacramento on Wednesday, but I like the Clippers' revamped roster with Serge Ibaka, Nicolas Batum and Luke Kennard. LA played a day earlier so the travel and altitude shouldn't be an issue. This is the ultimate revenge spot for Paul George and the Clips. Look for them to control the boards and cover.
