There are horses for courses in the NBA, it would seem. Especially for the Clippers, as there are a few teams they can't seen to deal with (such as the Rockets and T-wolves; combined 0-5 against those) and some that they can (such as the Nuggets, 2-0 against Denver). In the most recent meeting vs. Denver, the Clips survived a triple-double from Nikola Jokic (28-11-11) to win by 4 at the Intuit Dome on December 1, fueled by 37 points from James Harden. The Joker scored a big 41 in the first meeting on October 26 at Ball Arena and that wasn't enough for the Nuggets to prevail that night, either. Note the Clippers are 15-5 vs. the spread against teams other than Houston and Minnesota, and 9-3 as a dog vs. foes other than the Rockets and T-wolves. Play Clippers
