With Michael Porter Jr.'s recent downturn and historically poor performance against the LA Clippers, it's worth considering the under for his points total in the upcoming game.
The Denver Nuggets have been on a hot streak, and Michael Porter Jr. has been a big part of that success. But a closer look at recent numbers reveals that there may be a reason to consider betting the under for his points total in the upcoming game against the LA Clippers.
Porter Jr. is averaging 16.0 points per game this season. At home, that average drops to 14.2 points, and on the road it inches up slightly to 17.7 points. On the season, he has scored more than 16.5 points in 66 games and fewer than 16.5 points in 86 games. In his last 20 games, his points total has averaged out to 15.6 points, with 11 games coming in over the 16.5 point mark. His last 10 games have seen his points total settle at 15.2, with 4 games coming in above the 16.5 line. And in the last 5 games, he has only gone over the line once, averaging 13.4 points.

This downward trend is particularly concerning given the Nuggets' upcoming matchup against the LA Clippers. In the one game that Porter Jr. has played against them this season, he only managed to score 10 points. Taking into account his recent downturn, combined with his history of struggling against the Clippers, it appears that betting the under on his points total would be a wise decision.
The Denver Nuggets are set to face the LA Clippers today at 8 PM MT on ESPN. Porter Jr. is a key contributor to their success, but with the current downward trend and a history of underperforming against the Clippers, betting the under on his points total appears to be the best option.
