Over
The totals have been set around 225.5 to 226, and both teams have displayed offensive capabilities that suggest the game could exceed these totals, especially if they maintain a fast pace.
The totals line is tight, ranging from 225.5 to 226.5, with odds slightly favoring the over in several instances (1.91 to 1.95). Given the offensive capabilities of both teams, particularly Denver, there is a slight edge towards the combined score exceeding 226 points.
The total line is tightly contested, hovering around 225.5 to 226.5 points with very balanced odds for both Over and Under, indicating no strong market lean. However, given the offensive firepower of both the Clippers and the Nuggets, and the potential for a competitive, high-scoring NBA game, a slight lean towards the Over is made, though with moderate confidence due to the balanced odds.
Total lines cluster around 225.5–226.5, and both franchises typically produce above-average offensive outputs in recent seasons. The market is balanced, but the offensive talent profile favors a slight lean to the over, while acknowledging game-to-game variance and unknown injury/news risk.
The totals line is very stable around 226, with odds that are nearly identical for the over and under. This indicates an accurately set line by the bookmakers. However, given the high offensive potential of both teams, there is a slight value in expecting a higher-scoring affair that pushes the total just over the mark.
Totals line hovers at 226 with near-even odds, but slight variations favor over in some books. Both teams' offensive styles in NBA often push scores above this threshold.
Under
The totals odds are quite balanced, but there is a slight lean towards the under in some lines. Given the small variations and market's expectation of a competitive game, the under is slightly more favorable.
The 226 (or 226.5) total line appears frequently, with several books showing nearer to 226 and a slight lean toward under in some markets. Given typical pace and defensive focus in Nuggets-Clippers matchups, under is a reasonable modest edge.
Totals cluster around 225.5-226 points with slightly better odds for Under (1.87-1.95 vs 1.87-1.95). The even odds suggest market uncertainty, but slight lean toward Under.

The total has stabilized at 226 across most books with relatively balanced juice. Both teams typically play in competitive, half-court settings in playoff-intensity matchups.
