The Denver Nuggets are the team that just won't go away. And they are hoping that they can keep things going for themselves after Sunday afternoon, when they face off against the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 6 of the NBA's Western Conference semi-finals. Game time is 1:05 PM ET at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex, and if you are a <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong> </a>customer you should know that you can get reduced juice on this game, which will give you better odds, in addition to the ability to place wagers as the contest is in progress, with Sports Betting Prime.

The Nuggets really do come off like the team with nine lives. They were down three games to one against Utah in the first round of play, but roared back with three straight victories. And on Friday they came back from being down 16 points to stave off elimination.

So what do they do for an encore?

I almost forgot Michael Porter Jr. was a rookie. And sometimes he's going to say some "rookie things." He was critical of the coaching staff because he wanted the ball more. In fact, he did not see it very much at all in the second half of Game 4, after having a great first half with 15 points.

Then he did not score for a 46-minute period in Game 5. But that was not the end of the story, by any means. Porter sank a three-point shot with a little over a minute remaining to extend his team's lead to five points. All told, he scored seven of Denver's last nine points. Those were the only points he would score in the ballgame.

Here are the NBA betting odds for Game 6, as they are posted at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/s/bas"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>:

<strong>Los Angeles Clippers -8.5</strong>
<strong>Denver Nuggets +8.5</strong>

<strong>Over 213.5 points -110</strong>
<strong>Under 213.5 points -110</strong>

Porter's teammates and coaches are still not all that pleased with him. But that's something they'll probably discuss in more detail at a later date. What they want to do now is stay alive. And Paul Millsap, a veteran leader of this ensemble, valiantly kept things alive with fourteen points in the third quarter on Friday, which made the comeback possible.

Jamal Murray came through with 26 points in Game 5. Nikola Jokic had 22 points and 14 rebounds. This overcame monster output from Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who combined for 62 points. Lou Williams had just four points off the bench for the Clippers, and they will need more from him. he has averaged less than ten points during this series, on 35% shooting.

Murray has not been as red-hot as he was in the previous series against the Jazz. Yes, he has been hitting triples (42%), but he's just 21 of 60 (35%) from two-point range. George, who had a horrific shooting slump as these playoffs began, has settled down and is making 42.5% of his attempts from downtown.

So we have two stars who have been off the mark in this series. Murray., who had scored 142 points in a three-game stretch against Utah, is averaging just 17.8 ppg here.

So is the question more a matter of who could conceivably bust out in Game 6? Or is it more about who can defend the other team's big gun? The thing about the Clippers is that they have so much versatility on the defensive end. Let's face it; when you have Leonard and George and Patrick Beverley, you can give an opponent a lot of different looks. And obviously they are doing something to keep Murray out of his rhythm. Part of what had gotten Porter upset was his feeling of frustration that the team was relying too much on the Jokic-Murray combination with regard to point production.

He may be right. And that is a critical factor in a game like this. Let's look for the Clips to continue keeping Murray off-balance, and to avoid another collapse. We'll lay the points.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.

Cincinnati Reds vs Tampa Bay Rays Betting Pick & Prediction 7/26/24

The Colorado Avalanche didn’t expect to find themselves down 2-0. The Dallas Stars probably didn’t expect to be up 2-0. But, we’ve come to expect the unexpected in 2020 and right now, it is the Avalanche that need to win four out of five over a Stars bunch that seems to be peaking at the right time.

Even still, there aren’t a lot of Stars believers as we head into Game 3 on Wednesday night. Colorado has taken all of the early money and <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betdsi"><strong>BetDSI Sportsbook</strong></a> has the Avalanche installed as a -140 favorite the night before the game. The total is 5.5, but that could be on the rise as well.

The Stars have gotten better goaltending and have gotten a lot more from their offense through the first two games of the series. Dallas has outscored Colorado 7-2 at even strength. Colorado has 39 scoring chances to Dallas’s 33, but Dallas has had 17 high-danger chances to 16 for the Avs. In other words, Dallas is getting the higher-quality looks and has done an incredible job to keep Colorado from getting to the areas that matter the most.

The Avs lost Philipp Grubauer to injury in Game 1 and Pavel Francouz was forced to step in. Grubauer allowed three goals on 10 shots in before exiting the postseason. Francouz has allowed six goals on 46 shots. For the regular season, Francouz actually outplayed Grubauer. He had a .923 SV% and a 2.41 GAA to go with his 13.06 goals saved above average mark. Grubauer had a .916 SV% with a 2.63 GAA and a 6.48 GSAA.

The difference between Francouz and Grubauer has likely been overvalued in media circles, but some in betting circles may prefer the 29-year-old to the 28-year-old. Francouz did not play well in Game 2, but his body of work during the regular season suggests that he should be just fine.

Somebody who has played well to this point is Anton Khudobin. While Ben Bishop’s ceiling is higher than that of Khudobin’s, the difference between the two has been nominal at best to this point. Khudobin has stopped 66 of 71 shots in the first two games and backstopped his bunch to a 2-0 lead.

Eight different goal scorers have lit the lamp for the Stars. Alexander Radulov has three goals and the rest of them have one goal each. The most amazing thing about this series for the Stars is how they’ve cashed in their chances 5-v-5. Only the Detroit Red Wings scored fewer goals 5-v-5 than the Stars during the regular season, but Dallas has found an offensive resurgence in the playoffs. They scored 14 goals 5-v-5 in the series against Calgary.

The Stars have played really well through their two series. Maybe they simply found something that works. They outchanced Calgary 137-100 at 5-v-5 in the first round and had a 53-37 edge in high-danger chances. The fact that they’ve played with Colorado is a testament to how much their offense has suddenly improved.

Dallas has already scored five high-danger goals in the series. That’s as many as they had in six games against Calgary. Colorado needs to figure things out and do so in a hurry. Their top players have shown up in Nathan MacKinnon, Gabriel Landeskog, and Mikko Rantanen to combine for 11 points in the series and all five of Colorado’s goals, but the depth forwards and the defensemen are getting torched.

The concerning thing for Colorado is that they had the last change in the first two games, got the matchups that they wanted, and their bottom six forwards still buried them. How will they hide them in these two games when Dallas has the last change?

We’ll have to wait and see, but the line move is probably right here on Colorado. This is a circle the wagons game. They’ll have to step it up and play better. They were up 2-0 in Game and gave up two power play goals and then fell apart even further as the period went along. They’ll likely show more resilience here in Game 3.

<strong>Pick: Colorado Avalanche (-140)</strong>
