The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets are locked in one of the best playoff battles of the 2025 NBA playoffs so far. The Nuggets went down 2-1 and looked like they were ready to have their season end. Then their stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray showed up big in Games 4 and 5, putting the Nuggets up 3-2 in the series. For the Clippers, James Harden, who looked incredible to start the series, has regressed to his old playoff ways. Now the Clippers will be fighting for their playoff lives in a crucial Game 6 in LA. Let’s take a look at the series so far and determine the best Clippers vs Nuggets prop bets for Game 6.
The Best Clippers vs Nuggets Prop Bets For Game 6

James Harden: Under 21.5 points (-122)
It is a tale as old as time. Harden has an incredible regular season, only to be a complete disappointment once the playoffs hit. After Game 1 of the series, where Harden dropped 32 points on 22 shots, it looked like the Harden known for playoff choke jobs might have been left behind. The next four games proved that theory wrong.
Harden has averaged 16 points, eight assists, and 5.3 rebounds on 41.2% shooting from the field and 34.8% from three in the last four games of this series. That is why the line of 21.5 points seems ridiculously generous. Harden will likely continue his poor playoff scoring in Game 6, which is why we like the under for one of the best Clippers vs Nuggets prop bets.
Jamal Murray: Over 20.5 points (-122)
Murray was unbelievable in the Nuggets’ Game 5 win. He scored 43 points on 26 shots while going 8-of-14 from three. Murray has been decent for the Nuggets all series. However, this performance was his first standout offensive game (although he did score more than 20 in each of the first three outings), and boy was it needed. Now the Nuggets will look to close the series out and will be looking to their veteran point guard for scoring help once again.
Another 40-point game seems unlikely, but eclipsing 20 points should be relatively easy for Murray. He has scored over 20 points in four of the five games this series and averaged over 21 points per game in the regular season. Look for Murray to continue his scoring ways from Tuesday night with at least a 21 point performance in Game 6.
Ivica Zubac: Under 12.5 rebounds (-136)
Ivica Zubac has been the steadiest performer for the Clippers so far these playoffs. He is averaging over 20 points and 10 rebounds this series. He has also done a solid job at doing what he can against the dominance of Jokic.
Still, this rebounding number for Zubac is too high. He has only grabbed more than 12 boards once in this series, and that was Game 1. Since then, he has gotten close to that number with two 12-rebound games, but hasn’t eclipsed it. Zubac is also only averaging 8.7 rebounds over the last three games of this series. We like the Zubac rebounding under as one of the best Clippers-Nuggets player props for Game 6.
