The Denver Nuggets hope to extend three win streaks when they face the Los Angeles Clippers tonight at the Staples Center.
Denver is currently riding a four game win streak - with victories over the Portland Trail Blazers, Minnesota Timberwolves. Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets - and also a two-game win streak over the Clippers this season. Take it back to last year and the Nuggets have won five straight against the lowly Clippers.
The Nuggets bring the second-leading scoring offense in the NBA, at 106.7 points per game, into the match-up against LA, led by team-leading scorer Carmelo Anthony's 24 points.
In their most recent win, Melo and Nene each registered double-doubles, accounting for a combined 14 double-doubles on the season. Compare that to Clippers rookie forward Blake Griffin, who has registered 22 consecutive double-doubles.
In injury news, Los Angeles will be without big man Chris Kaman, while Denver is hoping to see the return of forward Al Harrington who is day-to-day with an injury to his thumb.
