NBA fans rejoice! We have at least one Game 7 in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. The Los Angeles Clippers are heading back to Denver to face the Nuggets in what should be an epic win-or-go-home battle. Earlier in the series, it seemed like the Nuggets didn\u2019t have enough to handle the gritty veteran Clippers, but they flipped the series around with two big wins to take a 3-2 series lead. Then the Clippers evened things up on Thursday night, forcing a critical Game 7<\/a>. The Nuggets haven\u2019t won a Game 7 since beating the Clippers in the 2020 bubble. This game will likely be too close to predict, but that doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t some juicy player props available. Let\u2019s look at the best Clippers-Nuggets player props for Game 7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Best Game 7 Clippers-Nuggets Player Props<\/strong><\/h2>\n

*All Clippers vs Nuggets odds are courtesy of <\/span>Bovada<\/span> as of Friday afternoon<\/span><\/p>\n

Nikola Jokic: Over 12.5 Rebounds (-107)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nikola Jokic<\/a> is the best player in the world. Although he likely won\u2019t win the MVP this season, nobody would argue that he isn\u2019t the best player in basketball. He is fighting off the Clippers with a less talented team and keeping the Nuggets afloat. We are expecting a huge game from him on Saturday. What we can\u2019t predict, however, is just exactly how he will impact the game offensively. Will he go off for a huge scoring performance, or will the Clippers force him to beat them with his passing? It is hard to know.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What isn\u2019t as hard to predict is that Jokic is going to play a ton of minutes and is going to be very active on the glass. Jokic is averaging 11.8 rebounds a game this series, slightly below his projected Game 7 line. That\u2019s because historically in Game 7s, Jokic is a beast on the glass. <\/span>In the five Game 7s <\/span><\/a>of his career, Jokic is averaging a whopping 16.6 rebounds per game. We like this trend to continue as one of our best Clippers vs Nuggets<\/a> prop bets for Saturday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Norman Powell: Under 16.5 points (-105)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Norman Powell<\/a> has been essential for the Clippers this series. He put up 24 points in Thursday\u2019s elimination game and had two other big nights in LA earlier in the series. The problem is, Powell hasn\u2019t brought his scoring to Mile-High City. In the three games in Denver, Powell scored 12, 13, and 12 points. With Game 7s often being defensive battles, and Powell having had trouble scoring in Denver, we like Powell to stay under his scoring projection of 16.5 points on Saturday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jamal Murray: Over 2.5 threes made (+120)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jamal Murray<\/a>\u2019s three-point shot also varies greatly between home and away games. In the Nuggets\u2019 home games this series, he has made an average of five threes per game. In their games in LA, he is only averaging 1.3. <\/span>We are expecting Murray to come out firing in Game 7. With his previous success in Denver, connecting on three shots from deep shouldn\u2019t be too difficult. Getting +120 on his threes line is even more of an incentive to take it as one of the best Clippers-Nuggets player props for Game 7.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
