Nuggets Aim to Extend Dominance as They Face Clippers Again
The Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers are clashing once again, and this matchup promises to bring plenty of fireworks. Scheduled for November 12, 2025, at the brand-new Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, this high-voltage NBA contest will tip off at 10:30 pm ET (7:30 pm PT). It’s a back-to-back situation for the Nuggets, but their recent form and statistical dominance make them the favorites heading into this showdown.
Now, if you look at the numbers, the Nuggets have been one of the most efficient offensive teams in the league. They’re averaging a remarkable 124 points per game — that’s a full 15 points higher than the Clippers’ 108.9. Denver has also been much stronger on the boards, pulling down 47.9 rebounds per game compared to the Clippers’ 40.9. That kind of control over the glass often defines games, and it’s something the Nuggets have used to their advantage in previous meetings.

In terms of playmaking, Denver’s ball movement continues to shine. The Nuggets average just over 30 assists a night, far above the Clippers’ 24.4. They’ve also been more disciplined with their offense, with Nikola Jokić leading the way — and he’s been nothing short of sensational. The reigning MVP is putting up 26.2 points per game, along with 13.2 rebounds, while shooting an incredible 66.9% from the field and 85.4% from the line. Peyton Watson has added defensive energy too, contributing over a block per game.
On the Clippers’ side, things haven’t been quite as smooth. Ivica Zubac has been doing solid work in the paint, averaging 10.6 rebounds per game, and James Harden continues to distribute effectively with 9.3 assists per game — though his turnovers remain an issue at 4.2 per night. Unfortunately, the Clippers will be missing two key players: Bradley Beal, who’s sidelined with a hip injury, and Kawhi Leonard, who’s out for injury management. Their absence could heavily impact LA’s offensive rhythm and perimeter defense.
Recent history doesn’t favor the Clippers either. Denver has dominated this matchup, winning four of their last five encounters — including decisive victories like 131–115 and 120–101 earlier this year. The Clippers did manage to steal a 111–105 win in May, but the Nuggets have generally dictated the tempo and style of play whenever these two teams meet.
Even so, it’s worth noting that the Clippers’ defense can still keep games close, especially when they’re playing at home. If Harden and Zubac step up, and if LA can slow down Jokić’s inside presence, they might just have a fighting chance.
