5 minClippers vs. Nuggets Prop Picks: Targeting Michael Porter Jr., Jamal Murray in NBA Playoffs Game 7
It's only fitting that Clippers-Nuggets ends in a Game 7.
This series started with an overtime game, had a game-winning dunk, and two more close games. We should get another competitive affair on Saturday night, since Denver is just a one-point home favorite.
Nikola Jokic is expected to be in the range of another triple-double, or have one altogether. He's not much of a mystery in this game, but he can't do it all, and for the Nuggets to win, they will need Jamal Murray to catch fire once again.
Murray was electric the last time he was in Denver, scoring 43 points in the Nuggets dominant Game 5 victory. While the Canadian point guard won't have to be *that* good again, Denver needs another efficient scoring performance from him to clinch this series and advance to the next round.
Does Murray have enough gas left in the tank to deliver another vintage playoff moment? I examine the odds for Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7 in Denver.

Clippers vs. Nuggets Prop Picks for Game 7
Jamal Murray OVER 21.5 points (-110) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7 Odds
I don't think it's too far-fetched to expect Murray to finish with at least 22 points tonight. He's scored at least 21 points in five of the six previous games in this series, and he's averaging 19 shot attempts per game this series. Look for Jokic to continue feeding him the ball.
Plus, Murray is an incredibly productive Game 7 performer. He's averaging 26.4 points in five Game 7s in his career. This dude is not afraid of the moment and has dropped at least 35 points in each of his last two Game 7s.
Murray reaching 22 points seems reasonable, so take the over on his point total.
Ivica Zubac UNDER 11.5 rebounds (-110) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7 Odds
This bet recommendation is simply about the number, not the player. Zubac has been excellent this series in defending Jokic well and scoring 18.7 PPG, but he's averaging 9.5 rebounds per game.
That's not a bad rebounding number in the slightest, but it does not give me confidence that he'll grab 12 rebounds with no trouble. He recorded five boards in Game 5, then six in Game 6, so why should I expect him to have 12 rebounds tonight?
Michael Porter Jr. OVER 10.5 points (-112) Click here to see which sportsbook has the best Clippers vs. Nuggets Game 7 Odds
Trusting MPJ in this series has been an up-and-down experience. He's been an extremely inconsistent player, but I think he can finish Game 7 with at least 11 points based off his scoring trends this series.
Every time he doesn't reach 10 points, he follows it up with a double-digit performance:
- Game 1: 3 points
- Game 2: 15 points
- Game 3: 7 points
- Game 4: 17 points
- Game 5: 14 points
- Game 6: 5 points
I'm staying on the Michael Porter Jr. rollercoaster and expecting he gets to 11 points. Ride with his over tonight.
Clippers vs. Nuggets Prop Picks
- Jamal Murray OVER 21.5 points (-110)
- Ivica Zubac UNDER 11.5 rebounds (-110)
- Michael Porter Jr. OVER 10.5 points (-112)
