Clippers vs Nuggets (ESPN)

This will be Gallinari’s first game vs Denver after spending 6 years with them and it may be a marquee game for him. It will be a battle of two of the best frontcourts in the league as Griffin and Jordan battle Millsap and Jokic inside. The real X factor in this game might just be Gallinari. These are two teams that will likely be battling each other for playoff positioning when the season closes and this game may turn out to be important. Expect the Clippers to come out strong and have their small forward playing with a chip on his shoulder. Clippers win in a fast paced high scoring affair.
