Clippers vs. Nuggets Prediction
There are certain players that rise to the occasion in the postseason and increase their level of play. Jamal Murray is one of them. He has produced some massive playoff games, including this series in Game 5 when the Nuggets guard scored 43 points, shooting 17-for-26 from the field, including 8-for-14 from three-point range.
In his postseason career, Murray has averaged 24.2 points 6.2 assists and 4.9 rebounds. In the regular season, he averages 18 points, 4.7 assists and 3.8 rebounds, Murray has thrived in the last two Game 7's he has played in. Last season against Minnesota, Murray scored 35 points. In 2020 against the Clippers in the bubble, Murray scored 40 points.
Murray is used to these pressure spots. He has played in a Game 7 five times, and averaged 26.4 points. These are the types of games the stars are going to play huge minutes and be asked to do more. There will be a lot of Nikola Jokic and Murray playing the two-man game. Murray is averaging 24 points, 6.5 assists and 5.3 rebounds in the series and 19 shots from the field per game in 42 minutes per game.
He has played at least 40 minutes in five game, and the one game he fell short was due to a 117-83 loss. As long as the game stays close, Murray will be on the floor for most of the game and should take close to 20 shots from the field. In the three home games in this series, Murray has scored 21, 23 and 43 points.
