We will ride with the home team tonight to extend the series to seven games. Los Angeles was dominated on the road in Game 5, but they have been the better team for most of this series.
The Clippers will be the more desperate team tonight and cruise to a victory in this must-win game. They have been one of the best home teams in basketball this season (31-12).
Pick: Los Angeles Clippers -6.5

The three-time MVP had a quiet Game 5 in the points column. Jokic scored a series-low 13 points in the Nuggets latest win.
Jokic should bounce back tonight and look to be more aggressive on the offensive side of the floor. He has averaged 25.4 points in the series.
Pick: Nikola Jokic 25+ Points

Los Angeles will need a big-time performance from the future Hall of Famer tonight. Harden is coming off back-to-back poor scoring performances and is in a great position to bounce back with the Clippers season on the line tonight.
Our Action Pro Report projects 22.3 points for him in Game 6.
Pick: James Harden Over 20.5 Points
