Nuggets face inexperienced Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers made the playoffs for the first time since 1997 this season, and they'll tangle with the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of their opening-round series on Saturday.
The Clippers finished the season with a 47-35 record and are the Western Conference's No. 6 seed. The Nuggets ended up with a 44-38 record and are the conference's No. 3 seed.
The Clippers were listed as 5-point home favorites on the opening line for this game, while the opening total was set at 199 points.
Los Angeles is led by All-Star Elton Brand, and they will need his offensive skills to shine to get past the Nuggets. The Clippers won three of four games against Denver during the regular season.
Carmelo Anthony has led the Nuggets to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons in Denver, but the team hasn't made it to the second round since 1994.
