Memphis Grizzlies - Toronto Raptors

The Clippers are greeted by a very strong and healthy form, but it must be recognized that the Nuggets are a more capable and superior team. Jokic and the other Denver stars must defend their home walls against the Clippers, who can confidently be said to overperform. It is extremely difficult to defeat the Nuggets at home in terms of offense, and it must be acknowledged that the Clippers' style of play is advantageous for a home team.

If it doesn't work, we'll go watch Game 2 again. The Clippers team finished the season fantastically, and for me, they are the favorites in this series. I don't think Denver will take both games at home, so let's try today, and if we lose, we'll try again in a couple of days. Denver may have Jokic and a strong core, but in my opinion, the Clippers have a better team overall. Their defense is one of the best in the league, and their offensive options are not worse, especially with a healthy Kawhi, the elite basketball player, the dominant Zubac, and Powell playing the best season in his career. I also want to mention the coaching staff, which I believe is one of the best in the league. Denver just changed their coach, and now they have Adelman with little experience at the helm.

A better player in Denver, played at home, so no matter how strong the Clippers' season finish was, they have to face the joker's army. The injuries are not serious, and in my mind the Nuggets are more cohesive.
