Denver Nuggets Odds
After a loss in Game 3 on Monday, the Denver Nuggets are in danger of falling into a three-games-to-one hole for the second consecutive playoff series. The Nuggets led the Los Angeles Clippers 101-99 with five minutes remaining, before L.A. ended the game on a 14-6 run to win 113-107.
