This year, the opposition's starting PFs have totaled 3.7 three attempts per game (4th-fewest in the league) vs. the Denver Nuggets, creating a difficult matchup.The 9th-most lethargic tempo offense in the NBA since the start of last season has been the Clippers.The Nuggets have played at the 3rd-most sluggish tempo in the league in their home city since the start of last season, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Clippers.Derrick Jones Jr. will not enjoy the benefit of the home court advantage in this contest. Playing while traveling tends to lower player performance across the board.
